Abstract:

At Michigan State University, an internship seminar course has been developed to prepare two-year Horse Management Program freshmen to maximize their learning while on the job. Students develop individualized learning plans and are introduced to other aspects of the internship experience, such as evaluation, jobmanship and the sophomores' own experiences. As a result of taking this class, students are able to secure more appropriate placements, are proactive learners while on the job, and their performance is more fairly and consistently evaluated by their placement coordinator.
