Requirements
These requirements apply to all students participating in INTE6930 and/or the Learning Agency.
All of these apply to all students.
(1) Demonstrate Pro-Active Project Management. You are responsible for meeting deadlines, gathering details, and coordinating with your project supervisors and your faculty.
(2) Apply to the Learning Agency & complete the onboarding. If you are working with us OR if you are working with an external client - you are required to complete our APPLICATION. This is step one of your onboarding. You will be sent subsequent steps upon submission.
(3) Weekly Hours. Document 90 hours of field work using our fieldwork system. Once a week, tell us what you did and how many hours taken to do it.
(4) Check-Ins. At 45 hours and at 90 hours you are required to check-in. You are responsible for arranging your own check-in with your faculty. You may:
- Post a reflection or un-essay to the FieldNotes blog.
- Coordinate a 1 hour Zoom discussion with faculty + 2 additional Agency students.
(5) Feedback Surveys. At 30 hours and at 60 hours a feedback survey will be sent to your project supervisor(s). These require completion.
ABOUT SURVEYS
Surveys will be sent automagically to project supervisors when you hit 30 hours and 60 hours on a given project. They will be asked to provide feedback to the student and private feedback to faculty. Feedback to faculty will not be directly shared with students and will inform mentoring and coaching as needed.
ABOUT AGENCY SCHOLARSHIPS
Students in the Learning Agency may qualify for Agency scholarships. The first 30 hours of your Agency fieldwork is akin to onboarding and probation, and is unpaid. The next 30 hours equates to an $800 scholarship, and the next and the next and the next.
Put another way - the first 30 hours is unpaid and each subsequent 30 hours is paid. Scholarships are paid near the close of each term as long as the FIVE REQUIREMENTS are consistently met.
Your hours accumulate as you go. Theoretically, here's how that looks:
| Hours | Requirements | Scholarship |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | All of the above | $0 |
| 60 | All of the above | $800 |
| 90 | All of the above | $800 |
| 120 | All of the above | $800 |
| 150 | All of the above | $800 |
| 180 | All of the above | $800 |
| etc | All of the above | $800 |
You do not have to be enrolled in INTE6930 to be in the Agency. LDT students are invited to join at any stage of the LDT program. This is experience, some monies, portfolio building, and often times - working with potential employers.
