MTH 3905-3908 - Mathematics Internship

Institution:

CUNY Bernard M Baruch College

Subject:

Description:

1 hour; 1 credit This course consists of a coordinated and supervised internship in mathematics. Students enhance their educational experience by working as mathematics interns. Students keep a journal describing each day's activities, duties, and responsibilities with an emphasis on how material learned in academic courses previously taken are used to carry them out. The journal also will emphasize new techniques, theories, and methods that the student learns as part of the internship. Weekly meetings with a faculty mentor are used to discuss the journal and a final paper summarizing the experience is required. Students are supervised by a faculty mentor and professional staff in the organization. The faculty mentor meets with the student's immediate supervisor at least twice. The first meeting occurs near the beginning of the semester to discuss goals. There is another meeting near the end of the semester to discuss the student's performance and to evaluate the experience. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis. (Only one of the four courses may be taken each semester.) Prerequisite: Open by permission of the Mathematics Department only to students who are declared mathematics majors. A student may enroll in MTH 3905/3906/ 3907/3908 upon receiving an internship of a minimum of 10 hours per week in an approved organization requiring a mathematics major.
