It is the
responsibility of the agency to first develop
a job description for the student. Include work that is useful,
realistic, and relevant work, not clerical or secretarial
duties. Then develop a selection process to select
students for the placement.
-
Provide
supervision, such as with a new employee, adequate to insure
that the student acquires and practices proper agency
procedures.
-
Expect the
same quality of performance as would be required of any new
employee with similar experience with that particular agency and
the procedures. Study of code, ordinance, agency Standard
Operating Procedures or other appropriate material and
familiarization should be assigned routinely.
-
The
supervisor will objectively evaluate the student regarding
personal and professional qualities related to his/her
effectiveness of performance at the midpoint and end of the
fieldwork period using forms provided by the Criminal Justice
Department of Boise State.
-
Administer an
exit interview at the end of the Internship or Field Work and
objectively discuss the evaluation. Both strong and weak points
should be discussed. This interview is for the student’s
benefit and can only be worthwhile if good and bad points are
openly and frankly reviewed.
-
A copy of the
written evaluation is to be forwarded to the appropriate Boise
State Practicum/Internship Coordinator of student/agency
activities by mail or fax:
Boise State
University
Dept of Criminal Justice Administration
1910 University Drive
Boise, ID 83725-1355

Rating
and Evaluation of Performance Guidelines |
|
Excellent |
Judgment,
knowledge, attitude and activities of extremely high
quality; assigned tasks carried out with minimal
supervision. A rating given only to those whose performance
is exceptional. |
|
Above
Average |
Evaluated
qualities are better than average but not exceptional; room
for improvement; or one area is only average or less. |
|
Average |
Satisfactory, but the total of field performance was without
special merit; significant amount of supervision is
required. |
|
Unsatisfactory |
Non-acceptable performance; quality of work did not
significantly benefit the agency or meet supervisor’s
expectations. |
|
Note:
We assume all of the students to be capable of “average”
performance.
Higher ratings should be the result of demonstrated superior
job performance. |
Approximately
60% of the student’s grade will be based on the agency
supervisor’s evaluation, which is representative of the caliber
of the student’s capability during his/her time with the
agency. The remaining 40% of the grade will come from the
written assignments and class attendance.
- Agencies
must allow students to attend the mandatory one-hour class
meeting per week.
