Medieval Institute Internship

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This internship provides students with the opportunity to gain real world experience in the organization, management, and teaching of a Medieval Studies course for advanced High School seniors. Students will assist in running the Medieval Institute's class at Adams High School in South Bend, meeting with the course instructor on a weekly basis to plan future lessons, reviewing and evaluating classwork from the Adams students, and leading class discussions once per week. The culmination of the semester will see the student write a post for the Medieval Institute's Medieval Studies Research Blog evaluating the course design and instructional format, assessing student learning based on evidence from weekly responses, considering the impact of this public humanities initiative for both the high school and the university and reflecting upon their own learning outcomes.
