THE WORK REPORT
Each student is required to submit a Work Report for each IPP work semester. The purpose of the report is to review the educational value of the IPP experience. In preparation, the student should evaluate his or her assignment in terms of the principles learned in the classroom. Many students find it useful to keep a journal of projects and experiences which can be drawn from for the final work report.
Students who are registered for the ECSC one credit hour classes are asked to complete all four parts of the IPP Work Report. Students working on IPP assignments and not registered for an ECSC class may eliminate the Narrative. The four parts of the IPP Work Report include:
1. Instruction and Cover Sheet
2. Performance Appraisal Form
3. Position Description and Evaluation Form
4. Narrative
As part of the work report, students evaluate their IPP positions and employers appraise the students’ job performance. In addition, students in the one credit hour ECSC courses submit a 4-6 page, typed Narrative analyzing the IPP experience.
The Narrative should contain information on the following topics:
Work report packets are e-mailed to students four to six weeks before they are due. The work report must be reviewed and approved by your work site supervisor before it is submitted to the IP Programs. It must be returned no later than the date indicated on the Instruction and Cover Sheet.
Failure to submit a complete and acceptable Work Report will result in loss of credit for the IPP assignment and the student may be dismissed from the IP Programs. The Work Report will be evaluated by the IPP staff and possibly shared with departmental faculty. Reports, which are incomplete, grammatically incorrect, or unsatisfactory must be rewritten, completed, and resubmitted for approval.
