The Practicum requires the student to complete 240 hours in a park, recreation, or leisure service related organization. It is preferred that the student work in a full-time position (40 hours/week). Some allowances may be made for specific job characteristics, which will allow fewer hours per week to be worked, but still meeting the 240 hour requirement.
The course is graded A to F. Grades will be based on completing your weekly reports as scheduled, your agency evaluation, and your supervisor's evaluation. Late or incomplete reports will reduce your grade. No incompletes will be given except for extreme extenuating circumstances.
The information you need to submit is shown below. All of your reports will be tracked on the Students Progress and Grade Reports on the Class page. There is a 10 point penalty for late reports.
| Requirements | % of Grade |
| Contact Form | 10 % |
| Weekly Reports | 25 % |
| Student Agency Evaluation | 25 % |
| Supervisor's Final Evaluation | 40 % |
| Total | 100 % |
Grades will be assigned as: 90 - 100 = A; 80 - 89 = B; 70 - 79 = C; 60 - 69 = D; less than 59 = F
Important Note: Depending on the PRM 308 class you are enrolled in, the 240 hours must be completed AND all reports must be submitted by Friday, December 4 by 5:00 PM. There are no "Incompletes" or extensions.
