model answer:
Gaining work experience prior to graduation helps university students to succeed
in getting their first job. For this reason, some universities insist that all
students must complete a Work Experience Requirement. Completing the following
six stages results in the requirements’ fulfillment.
The process begins with the Application stage. A student reviews an approved
list of workplaces and submits applications to places where he would like to
work. Next is the Approval stage. When a student receives an acceptance letter,
he gives it to the professor for approval. The third stage, Schedule, requires a
student to arrange his work schedule. The student should work at least 10
hours/week over 20 weeks. Reports are next. The student must complete a Weekly
Report Form and turn it in to the professor every Friday.
The fifth stage, Evaluation, takes place during the final work week. A student
participates in an evaluation meeting with his work supervisor, who submits an
Evaluation Form. The last stage requires that a student submit a Final Report
before the last week of spring semester.
By following these stages and subsequently submitting the final report, the
student receives credit from the university.
