ASSESSMENT PLAN
expanded 1996-97
As a greater percentile of students are from other states, the internship experience is
now offered extensively within neighboring states and throughout the country. Internship
placement sites continue to expand throughout the State of Nebraska. The program offers
either a 270 hour or 400 hour experience in any semester including the summer.
Students experience actual criminal
justice procedures and interactions with victims, witnesses and criminal suspects. The
supervisors' evaluations of the internship are evaluated by the chair and presented to the
faculty, if the data warrant discussion, who then decide if programmatic changes need to
be implemented. |
2000-2001 ASSESSMENT
Intern evaluations by the agencies indicated that 95% of the students were in the
excellent or good category for being a professional worker in the criminal justice
systems. Evaluations also indicted that all work by interns was "consistently of
excellent or good quality." |
1999-2000 ASSESSMENT
Intern evaluations by the agencies indicated that 90-95% of the students were in the
excellent or good category for being a professional worker in the criminal justice
systems. |
1998-99 ASSESSMENT
Agencies are pleased with our interns, with 90-95% of the students judged to be in the
excellent or good category for being professional workers. |
1997-98 ASSESSMENT
Because of feedback from the intern agency coordinators and the student Career Follow-up
Survey, the Department has restructured elements of the experience to address those
deficiencies. One such problem was that the interns were not being rotated through the
agency divisions in an adequate fashion. We will work more closely with the agencies to be
sure that this is remedied. |
1996-97 ASSESSMENT
The Criminal Justice Department continues to offer its well accepted internship course to
majors and minors. While seniors performance continues to confirm that they are well
prepared for employment due to a sound theoretical foundation, their employability is
greatly enhanced by a practical observational experience within an agency closely matched
to their interests. |
1995-96 ASSESSMENT
The internship program has been expanded to include agencies representing the private
security industry, in addition to law enforcement, judicial, and correctional placements.
We have learned from supervisors that they prefer interns who have attained junior status;
and we have advised students accordingly. |
1994-95 ASSESSMENT
Supervisors continue to cooperate in placement and fully evaluating our interns.
Additional intern sites have been established out of state, and in the private security
industry to complement our regular placements in police, judicial, and correctional
agencies. |
1993-94 ASSESSMENT
We continue to offer our successful internship program. The students continue to exhibit
maturity in selecting their placement sites and learning how to conduct themselves in a
bureaucratic environment. |
