All
students complete 8 credits of fieldwork. The Comhe undergraduate
faculty fieldwork coordinator is Megha
Ramaswamy. The coordinator may assist the student in locating
an appropriate fieldwork opportunity or the student may design their
own fieldwork if it conforms to the fieldwork requirements. Fieldwork
opportunities are also announced via the UPH comhe-l listserv (see
UPH hompage.)
The
major requirement of fieldwork is a journal which each student keeps
for the duration of the semester. By recording events and impressions,
students can see the evolution of their role within an organization
as well as their personal growth. ALL WRITTEN MATERIAL IS KEPT
IN THE STRICTEST CONFIDENCE BETWEEN THE STUDENT AND THE FACULTY MEMBER.
Students
registered for fieldwork must attend two or three mandatory group
meetings during the semester of registration at Brookdale. At
the meetings, students share their experiences with one another and
help in the process of letting their classmates learn about potential
field placements.
