POLSC 400 - Washington Internship and Experiential Learning Seminar
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing; POLSC 100 ; completion of the interdisciplinary core and writing requirements; approval by the RWU Washington semester advisor
Participants in the Roger Williams University Semester in Washington, D.C. program work four days a week for the entire semester as interns at placements arranged-after extensive consultations with students-by the Institute for Experiential Learning (IEL) in Washington, D.C. Interns perform such work as research, attending meetings, writing reports, preparing briefings, and so on. The seminar, which meets weekly, provides an academic context in which students discuss, reflect upon and analyze their internship experiences, and relate those experiences to their major and other college courses. Interns design a learning plan, do an organizational analysis, write a reflective journal, and compile a “portfolio of learning” that is presented at the end of the term. The journal is reviewed regularly by the IEL instructor. All materials are evaluated at the end of the term by an RWU faculty member.
