- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course:
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? The fieldworks have a professional supervisor in the workplace who is not paid by the university. The LIS instructor in charge of the fieldwork serves as an off-site supervisor. Both the student and the on-site supervisor turn in a report on the activities of the fieldwork. Since the hours worked by the student are for the purpose of practical, professional experience, S/U is an appropriate grade.
