Additional forms required for GINS 3900 or GINS 3901
All students participating in a placement outside Canada must register in an appropriate Carleton course during the term they are on placement. For most BGInS students, this will normally be GINS 3900 (0.5 credits) or GINS 3901 (1.0 credits). BGInS students in the Global Politics Specialization may also register in GPOL 3100, Internship in Global Politics, while students doing a placement in Africa may also register in AFRI 3900, Placement. Students registered in AFRI 3900 should consult the units offering these courses for information about how the course grade will be assigned.
Students registered in GINS 3900 or GINS 3901 must consult with Prof. Marylynn Steckley regarding the academic content of their placement. The grade for their placement course will be assessed by the Instructor. Part of this grade will be based on the workplace supervisor’s assessment of the student’s performance on the job. This assessment must be completed by the supervisor at the end of the placement, using the Employer Assessment Form below.
