Field Studies 234
Field Studies 234
is operated by Career & Employment Services and allows students the
opportunity for increased learning through involvement as a teacher's,
lab or research assistant. May be repeated for a maximum of
12 units.
Enrollment
Requirements:
-
To become an teacher's, lab or research assistant you must contact the instructor with
whom you wish to work.
-
After the instructor agrees to work with you, obtain a
Field Studies 234 Application & Agreement
Form from Career & Employment Services, located in the Student
Services Center, room 138.
-
After completing the
top part of the form, work with the instructor to develop three measurable
learning objectives reflecting new and expanded learning that
will take place during the semester/session. These objectives must
reflect assistance to the instructor and/or students rather than
self-growth.
-
After you, the
instructor and division dean have signed the form, return it to Career
& Employment Services to obtain your section number, so you can enroll through Admissions & Records.
