Abstract:
Agribusiness industry internships are important for preparation of agribusiness degree undergraduate students. A judiciously designed academic experience course highlights experiences from the internship while integrating classroom theories and methods. Kolb's "Experiential Learning Cycle" is used to integrate practical and reflective objectives into the course assignments. Each student completes various assignments, including a written report and electronic presentation to analyze an issue or opportunity related to the internship. Student evaluations over the life of the course consistently indicate that issue analysis, written reports, and oral presentations provide the greatest benefits of the course and prepare students for the next step in their careers.
