Overview:

The student will work under faculty supervision in a field placement related to dialogue and negotiation. Arrangements for both field placement and faculty supervision are the responsibility of the student, and a mutually satisfactory agreement must be established between the field placement host and the faculty supervisor, with provision for regular reports and opportunities for comment. Agreement must be in place prior to instructor’s consent. Enrollment depends on the availability of faculty resources in any semester.

The objective of the field placement will be developed and defined at the beginning of the semester through consultation. The student will present a written and oral report on their work (to their supervisor), both in the middle of the term, and for evaluation at the end. Consultation with the field placement host will occur on an “as needed” and timely basis.

Readings:

No specific readings are intended for this field placement course. It is, in effect an application of the learning in the CMNS/DIAL 460-4 seminar and previous Dialogue Minor courses.

Grading:

Students will meet in advance with their supervisor to determine the grading scheme to be used, and this scheme must be approved by the CMNS Undergraduate Chair

The School expects that the grades awarded in this course will bear some reasonable relation to established university-wide practices with respect to both levels and distribution of grades. In addition, the school will also follow Policy T10.02 with respect to “Intellectual Honesty” and “Academic Discipline” (see the current calendar, General Regulations Section).

Qualified Instructors:
