January Term Changes Explained . There are several changes the 1983 January Term. These changes may seem Questionable to students, but ju a recent interview Dr. Dorothy Russell, assistant academic dean stated they 3re “justifiable and Necessary.” The changes judude revisions of in ternship and grading policies. This January Freshmen 'yiU not be allowed to par- ucipate in internships. Dr. ftussell explained that since internships combine practice ^ith theory, it is not practical for a Freshman having completed only one semester college to work in an in ternship. According to ttussell, “they don’t have enough knowledge to make toe link between the theoretical and the prac tical,” and Freshmen “don’t Know what to look for in an internship.” Since an intern ^npresents Salem, Dr. ttussrill feels faculty sponsors Jined more time to get to know ihe student to determine ''’nether she is qualified to fulfill the requirements of an internship. This January, any Sophomore, Junior, or Senior "’no completes an internship "’ll! be required to write a Paper based on what she has learned from experiences and uutside reading assignments, this requirement has been adopted in order to allow tne student to show that she has thoroughly understood the subject of her internship. Interns will also be requir^ to “work” at least 140 hours -- this includes time spent on the job, reading assignments, and writing the paper. According to Dr. Russell, “inconsistency in the awarding of Honors” for J- term courses has caused a new criteria to be im plemented. At the beginning of the term professors will give students the criteria necessary to receive an “Honors” grade. This criteria will require much more work than that required for a “Satisfactory” grade. Students who do plan to participate in internships are advised to begin planning them now. The new ap plication process is lengthy, and all applications must be completed by Nov. 12. Applications received after that date will be considered late, and the student will be charged a late penalty fee of $25.00. Dean Russell said there has been a surprisingly large response to non-credit courses being offered this January. If a lot of students take advantage of these optional courses. Dean Russell would like to see more offered in the future. Page 3, The Saletnite, October 15,1982 ^rouub ^quarp • ^ampusP^peifcadk^BestsdB^ 1. The World According To Garp, by John Irving.
