Blackboard and Email. The course syllabus, assignments, forms, grades, and announcements will be
posted on Blackboard. Announcements might also be sent via Email. Students must provide a valid
Email and check for course communication on a daily basis. Students must also check Blackboard on
a regular basis.
First Mandatory Orientation Meeting
The first mandatory orientation meeting will be held on Thursday, January 30 at 7-7:50am (room to
be determined). Students will earn five points for attending this meeting (must arrive on time). Those
arriving on time will have priority in selecting their internship sites, if these required documents are
submitted: a copy of the Degree Audit Report, a copy of negative TB test, Lab Request Form (included
in the syllabus), the signed Student Contract (included in the syllabus), and a copy of the signed CFD
Reflective Learning Portfolio Agreement (for students under the 2011/2012 or more current catalogs).
Lab Experience
Students will be placed in the San Diego community in settings that serve children and/or families.
Here students will work 40 hours or approximately 4 hours per week during the semester. Students
will request their placements, but requests are not guaranteed. Please read about each placement
before the orientation meeting and be ready to submit your completed Lab Placement Request Form.
Following the meeting on Jan. 30, students will receive an Email informing them of their lab
placements. Students will then contact their lab supervisors to begin their field experience.
Supervisors must be contacted right away! Students who do not contact their supervisors by
Tuesday Feb. 4 will receive a 5-point deduction in Grade Center. Most placements will require
paperwork, background check, fingerprinting, etc. This may take several weeks so again, it is
imperative that students get started right away. Students will begin working in their assigned
placements no later than Friday Feb. 21. Failure to do so will result in “No credit” for the
course! Please note that a copy of the negative TB screen must also be given to the supervisor at
the first visit, no exceptions, along with the letter of introduction and any additional
documentation they may require.
3
Time Commitment
Students will work at least 40 hours during the semester for CFD 378D. If you work less than 40
hours, you will earn “No Credit,” no exceptions. Please plan to work at least four hours straight. You
may not break up your hours into smaller timeframes. Doing so is not good for you, your supervisor,
or the clients you serve. You are responsible for keeping track of your hours (keep copies of your time
sheets).
This is a semester-long internship. You are responsible for spreading your hours evenly over the
course of the semester. You may not complete most or all of your hours in the first half of the
semester, and you may not complete most or all of your hours in the second half of the semester.
Doing so will result in “no credit” for this class. Also, you are responsible for working through the
week of April 20, even if you have already completed the required hours. We made a commitment to
our community partners that students will work through the week of April 20.
If you need to reschedule a day, please be courteous and provide necessary cause to your supervisor
with plenty of notice. Make-up times will be assigned at the discretion of the supervisor. If you
request to reschedule more than four times, you will earn “No Credit” in the class. Your supervisors
are expecting you on your assigned days, and cancellations are very inconvenient for them.
Professional Expectations
 Be absolutely professional and cordial at all times in behavior, attitude, maturity, and dress. Please
consult your supervisor for the dress code and regulations at your facility.
 Be mindful that you are representing the San Diego State University community under a
service-learning course. Do not participate in any behavior that will embarrass you, SDSU, your
instructor, or our CFD department.
 Please be responsible and reliable. Show respect and kindness to supervisors, clients, and staff.
 Always be punctual and show up as expected. If you are late for more than three times and/or
you do not show up as scheduled more than three times, you will be terminated from your
internship and will earn “No Credit” for this class.
 Be mindful that any population of children and families you work with may be considered
“vulnerable” regardless of where you are placed. Thus, any personal information collected for the
purpose of this course shall be treated as confidentially sensitive.
 While at your site, your focus must be on your assigned duties and on the site’s clients. Do not
make personal phone calls, use your computer, do homework, text, etc.
Assignments, Due Dates, and Grading Policy
In additional to working in the community and completing 40 hours of service, students will complete
various assignments. All assignments, instructions, and forms are included in the syllabus packet and
are available on Blackboard. Time sheets, evaluations, and letters must be submitted by sliding a hard
copy under the door of EBA 401. Put the course number and instructor’s name on the top of your
assignments. Due dates are noted on the course calendar. DO NOT EMAIL ASSIGNMENTS. They
will not be accepted. Assignments will be graded and posted on Blackboard within two weeks. Time
sheets, evaluations, and letters will not be returned, so make sure to keep copies of everything
submitted. No late assignments will be accepted for this course.
Journals will be submitted on-line through Blackboard. Blackboard support for students can be found
at the following link: http://its.sdsu.edu/blackboard/BB9/index.html. If you need help, do not wait
until the last minute to get help! Students are responsible for their own computing needs. If a
technical problem occurs on the student's end, the STUDENT is responsible for fixing it. An
4
instructional technology problem that the student encounters does not constitute an acceptable excuse
for non-completion of coursework.
This class is graded on a credit/no credit basis. You will earn credit for the class if you complete each
assignment, submit required paperwork, earn a minimum of 80 points out of a possible 100, and
complete 40 hours of lab experience. In addition, you will not receive credit for this class if your
supervisor gives you a poor evaluation. Make sure you always show professionalism while working.
This includes being punctual, respectful, caring, reliable, ethical, etc. Students will earn no-credit if
the above requirements are not met.
Grades on assignments will be as follows:

Students are expected to meet with Hsing-chen Tung during the weeks of March 16 or March 23 to
discuss their lab experiences. This meeting will take about five minutes. Sign-up sheet will be
provided a couple of weeks ahead of time through Blackboard. Do not wait until the last minute to
have your conference. If students do not participate in this meeting, they will not earn credit for
the class. If students miss their appointments for no valid reasons, they will not be allowed to
make up for the appointments and will then earn no credit for this course.
Performance Meetings and Reviews
Twice during the semester you will schedule time to meet with your internship supervisors to discuss
your job performance. These meetings must take place during the weeks of March 9 and April 20.
Give your supervisors plenty of time to arrange these meetings. Do not ask for a meeting at the last
minute. Prior to each meeting, ask your supervisors to complete the Practicum Evaluation. Make sure
to give the evaluations to your supervisors well in advance of the meeting. The completed evaluations
will be used as a basis for discussion.
Note to Students on the Catalogs of 2011/2012 and later
Students under the catalogs of 2011/2012 and later are required to compile a reflective learning
portfolio comprised of various CFD assignments. There are seven mandatory signature assignments,
5
which must be included in the portfolio. One of the required assignments includes the two Practicum
Evaluations (mid-semester and final evaluations) from one of the CFD 378 classes. Students must
include the two evaluations from either CFD 378A, CFD 378B, CFD 378C, or CFD 378D. Make sure
to save these evaluations to be included in the reflective learning portfolio, which will be finalized
while enrolled in CFD 598 before graduation.
Further information on the reflective learning portfolio is available on the CFD web site,
http://coe.sdsu.edu/cfd/. Click on “Current Students” and “Developing Your Portfolio.” Remember, it
is your responsibility to save your assignments.
Taskstream
CFD Majors who are enrolled in this course will need to have a TaskStream electronic portfolio
subscription, and be enrolled in the appropriate TaskStream "Program" which contains your program
portfolio. More information about purchasing a TaskStream subscription and enrolling into a
TaskStream Program is available in the “CFD Portfolio” section of the Child and Family Development
website: http://coe.sdsu.edu/cfd/portfolio/index.php
Note to Future Elementary School Teachers
If you plan to become an elementary school teacher and attend the Credential Program at SDSU, you
must complete at least 30 hours of work or volunteer experience in a public elementary school before
applying to the Credential Program. This class will give you at least 40 hours of experience if you are
placed in one of the public elementary schools. If this applies to you, visit
http://edweb.sdsu.edu/STE/teachprospective.htm for further information on the Credential Program
and for the Early Field Experience Verification Form. This form will be used to document your hours
