*All students enrolled in the VCWEE program must read, sign and date a Student Liability Form. Work schedules (specific days/ hours/ lunch and breaks etc) must be documented on your application (back of green form, #5). All liability issues between work-site/agency and LBCC District must be agreed upon in writing prior to any student working.

□ Students must be enrolled in Work Experience by January 14, 2011 for semester-length classes. Deadlines for LESS than semester length classes: See current class schedule. Students can access the electronic schedule of classes on the college web site. http://schedule.lbcc.edu/

□ Students should check their registration receipt carefully! They should make sure they are in one Work Experience Program for the semester and that the class number on their receipt is correct. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure they are enrolled correctly.

□ Important – Students should use their LBCC Student ID number in place of their Social Security number.

□ The Work Experience Program the student enrolled in should be directly related to and supplemental to the college courses in which they are enrolled. Student are required to be enrolled in a “CULAR” course to be eligible for CULAR 271AD.

Fall and Spring semester requirements include: □ *Resolving any liability issues prior to starting work. □ *Successful completion of the VCWEE Program (which includes Work Experience and Work

Experience Issues). □ *Completion of the correct number of employment hours is required while enrolled in the LBCC

Work Experience Program: Paid Employment Volunteer 4 Units 225 Hours 180 Hours 3 Units 150 Hours 120 Hours 2 Unit 75 Hours 60 Hours

□ *Work Experience students can only declare hours worked during the Work Experience Program session in which the student is enrolled. Hours worked must be completed during the time between the start and end dates of the class in order to be counted for Work Experience Program credit.

□ *No Work Experience student will be approved to enroll after the start date of the WE class unless they have attended the WE student orientation and already have approved employment.

□ *Any WE student who is approved to enroll after the start date of the class can only count hours worked toward Work Experience Program credit starting from the date that the student is enrolled and not from the start date of the session.

□ The Work Experience Program consists of two classes. The Work Experience class is the place of employment that meets during regular work hours throughout the semester. The Work Experience Issues class is a classroom lecture that meets for one hour per week throughout the semester. The two classes offered under one class number in the schedule of classes. WE students will enroll in one class number for both classes. WE students must successfully complete both components to earn academic credit for program.

□ *No transferring of classes after the class is over. □ *The grade of “C” or higher is required in both classes to earn academic credit in the Work

Experience Program. The Work Experience Program consists of a combination of Lab (Work Experience) and Lecture (Issues class). To achieve success in Work Experience all students must have approved employment, complete the required number of approved objectives successfully and work the requisite number of hours required for the number of units enrolled in.

□ *No “Incompletes” are given for grades in the Work Experience Program. Requirements have to be completed within the time frame of the class.

□ *Enroll in only one Work Experience Program per semester. A student can enroll in a maximum of four semesters of the Work Experience Program with the possibility of completing a maximum of 16 semester units total.

□ An exception to the maximum of four semesters would be the Culinary Arts (CULAR) and Computer Applications & Office Technology (CAOTO) VCWEE Programs because there is only one occupational work experience course offered in those fields a semester. In Culinary Arts you only have the opportunity to complete two units per semester as only CULAR 271AD is offered each semester. In Computer Applications & Office Technologies you would only have the opportunity to complete three units per semester as only CAOTO 272AD is offered. In the above mentioned courses you would be able to take them more than the four semesters until you are able to complete 16 VCWEE units (or come close to it).

12/28/2010 4

□ *All required paperwork must be filled out completely and have appropriate signatures where

needed. Time cards must indicate the specific work schedule for each day worked. Time cards must show the month that the time card represents along with the days in that month indicated in the appropriate boxes on the time card. It is usually helpful to look at a calendar when filling the month and days in. Time cards have to show the specific work schedule for each day worked.

Example: If a WE student worked from 8:00 am till 1:00 pm on August 27th/Wednesday, in the box on the time card that is for that day the student would write in 8:00am / 1:00 pm = 5. This shows the specific work schedule the student worked for that day and the total hours worked for that day.

If applicable, the WE student must also document lunch time and breaks. Break and lunch time cannot be counted towards total hours worked for the day.

The total hours worked each week must be recorded in the “Total Hrs Per Week” box at the end of each week on the card.

After the student has completed all the hours they will be working for that month, they must add the total hours worked each week for the total hours worked for the month and record it in the “Total Hours for the Month Box.” Credit will not be given for any time cards that are not legible.

Students should have one time card for each month of the class session. Do not put hours for two months on one card. WE students must submit one time card for each month. Hours for multiple months submitted on a single time card will not be accepted.

If a student didn’t work every month of the session they will have a time card for that month (or months) with a notation on the card (or cards) that no hours were worked that month. Time cards have to be readable, so hours can be checked. Make sure all hours are accurate and totaled correctly on each card. At the end of each month the WE students supervisor has to verify the hours worked by signing the card. Hours on any card that hasn’t been signed by the WE students supervisor will not be counted toward their total hours worked. The signature on the time card must be the same as the person WE student has listed on the front of the (green) application for supervisor and the same person who signed the back of the pink work sheet as supervisor. Completed time card(s) are to be turned into the instructor each month. The instructor will verify the hours on the card upon receipt and sign and date. Credit will not be given for any time card that is not legible or are missing signatures (student, supervisor and instructor). NO WHITE OUT or cross over’s allowed. Time cards will be denied and returned unsigned. Only Work Experience time cards for the Work Experience Program will be accepted. Don’t confuse them with any other time cards. Please do not record any hours on time cards in military time.

□ *A minimum of Three On-The-Job Learning Objectives are required each semester. The objective form is to be used to submit the objectives that the WE student, the supervisor, and instructor agree upon. Objectives must be job related, learned on-the-job, specific, realistic, measurable, and attainable within the time frame of the class session. They must be within the scope of the job assignment, but must reach beyond normal assigned duties. WE student are required to discuss ideas with their supervisor and obtain his/her assistance in establishing the objectives. The supervisor will be the one who evaluates the WE students’ performance on their stated objectives. All three objectives must be successfully completed to receive credit for the Work Experience Program. In developing on-the-job learning (performance) objectives a uniform criteria and suggested format can be helpful in preparing a preliminary draft:

CRITERIA: 1. Job related / Specific 2. Measureable 3. Achievable within the semester 4. Learned on-the-job FORMAT GUIDELINES: “My objective is to :_____”(What) “This will be measured by:_____”(How/method) “This will be accomplished by:_____”(When/date) “This will be evaluated by:_____”(Who/name)

12/28/2010 5

□ Remember! College credit is given for accomplishing new or expanded learning experiences, not simply because of working. Some examples of right and wrong objectives are attached.

□ *The Work Experience Program provides the opportunity for a student to earn college credit while acquiring work experience related to their college major or program. Along with the Work Experience Program a student has to have at least one other class related to his/her educational/occupational objectives per semester.

□ *Instructional approval is required if a WE student is to be Self-Employed: A “Self-Employment Approval Form” is required which can obtain from the instructor at the

first class meeting. Self employed WE students must identify a person who is approved by certificated

personnel (instructor) to serve as the designated employer representative. This representative cannot be your instructor, classmate, subordinate, the WE student, or anyone related to the WE student. There can be no conflict of interest.

The representative shall agree in writing to accept the following employer responsibilities: (1.) Assist the student in identifying new or expanded on-the-job learning objectives. (2.) Assist in the evaluation of the student’s identified on-the-job learning objectives. (3.) Validate hours worked (check total(s) of hrs. worked each month and sign time cards) (4.) Notify instructor of any change in work status. Besides the responsibilities listed, the agreement should also contain the representative’s address, phone number and relationship to business (if any).

The agreement is to be signed and dated by the employer representative, instructor, and the WE student. For WE students’ convenience, the agreement has been included in the Self-Employment Approval Form. When all is completed and approved the form is to be attached to the back of the (green) application.

Failure to turn in a completed approval form (with all the necessary signatures) by the end of the first week of class can result in the student not being able to use self-employment as their job for the Work Experience Program.

Not all instructors will allow WE students to use self-employment as their job for work experience. It is up to the instructor’s discretion.

□ *In the (rare) event of Changing Jobs the WE student must notify instructor and supervisor immediately. Approval is required before any change can take place. A change in jobs means a change in objectives and a new set of paperwork has to be filled out and approved.

□ *If the WE students Supervisor Changes while in the program, the WE student must notify the instructor immediately so information about the new supervisor can be noted on the student’s paperwork. Failure to do this can result in a loss of hours and/or credit, due to another signature on the time cards (or other paperwork) that has not been approved. Signatures should coincide throughout the paperwork unless a change has occurred and the instructor has recorded this on your paperwork.

□ *If the instructor approves a WE student can use the hours from Two Jobs (as long as they are within the time line given for the class and meet the criteria) to obtain enough hours for their units, there is to be two sets of paperwork (one complete set for each job) and a minimum of three (3) different objectives for each job (= total of 6 different objectives). This means a student has to successfully complete 6 different objectives to earn credit for the program. When using two jobs and one job is volunteer and the other is paid, the student would add the hours of both together to get their total hours worked. The amount of hours needed to qualify for units is determined by the job where they worked the most hours.

Example: Vol. = 40 hrs. + Pd. = 30 hrs. = Total 70 hrs. Vol.

(qualifies for 1 unit Volunteer)

Example: Vol. = 30 hrs. + Pd. = 40 hrs. = Total 70 hrs. Pd. (qualifies for 0 units Paid)

*Minimum employment time for the following units of Work Experience is: 4 Units (work experience class) 12 weeks 3 Units (work experience class) 9 weeks 2 Units (work experience class) 6 weeks

12/28/2010 6

□ It is up to the individual instructor’s discretion whether or not he/she wants to go by the above listed minimum employment time. Some instructor’s feel that the above listed minimum employment time is not enough time to earn the units. In this case the student will go by the amount of time the instructor wants. It can be made to be more employment time, but not less. Make sure the student is clear on what is expected.

□ *One Job / Two Site Assignments – this refers to one job that has the student working at two

different site locations with a different supervisor at each site.

Example: LBUSD is the employer and sends the WE student to, two different schools (two different site assignments / each site has a supervisor). The WE student may work part of the week at Grant school and the other part at Emerson.

The instructor is to be notified of this situation at the beginning of the semester. A Work Status Change form would be completed and approved.

In this case, there would be a Student application (2), Objective Agreement (2) and separate time cards for each site location signed by each site supervisor for the student. Each application would have the site (Grant School / Emerson School) listed as the Employer and the address of that school site.

There would be one WE District Agency Agreement which would list LBUSD as the Employer with the address for LBUSD. This form would be signed by both site supervisors.

The method for calculating the number of hours needed for the amount of units the student is enrolled in would be the same as listed above for “Two Different Jobs”.

□ *Student Liability Form –This form is mandatory for all students to read, complete, sign and date prior to starting work.

All students are to be aware of Job-Site Injury Procedures. All liability issues must be addressed and agreed upon in writing prior to any student

beginning employment. *Risk Services office will provide forms for all WE students to complete. The forms and

instructions will be sent to the instructor prior to first class meeting.

□ *Application – (front side) All forms must be filled out completely. On the front page of your application under “Work Experience Employment” (#3) it will ask for the name of your Supervisor. The person listed here has to be the same person who will sign all the WE student’s time cards, the contract and the back side of the learning objective work sheet as the Employment Supervisor.

Under (#4) it will ask for WE Students Evaluator. The person listed here will be the same person listed under “E” for all three objectives on the learning objective form.

If the WE Student list the same person for Supervisor and Evaluator (#3 and #4) then that person is the one listed under “E” for all three objectives, who will sign the back side of the learning objective form as Employment Supervisor, will sign the contract, and sign all WE Student time cards.

In short – the name(s) listed must coincide throughout the WE Students paperwork with the signatures.

□ *Application – On the (back side) of this form there are some questions that are usually answered wrong or not at all. Listed below are descriptions of how these questions are to be answered:

Position Title (listed under #5) – is asking for the name of student’s job. Do not put intern or volunteer. Examples: office assistant, athletic assistant, camera assistant, reporter, cook, teacher assistant, computer maintenance, cashier, accountant, advertiser, assistant manager, sales associate, gardener, nursery worker, etc. What the student writes as their Position Title on their application form should be the same thing put on the front side of their learning objective work sheet as Position Title.

How long employed here? (listed under #5) This question is asking for the amount of time (if any) the student has been working at your job.

Date you enrolled in the Work Experience Program this semester? (Listed under #5) This question is asking for the date the WE Student actually enrolled in this class.

Date you started working within this semester? (Listed under #5) This question is asking for the actual date the WE Student started their employment within the semester they are enrolled in.

12/28/2010 7

□ The reason for these questions is so it can be determined that the WE Student is using work hours within the start and end date of the class when they are enrolled. Keep in mind if the WE Student enrolled late, hours use for the Work Experience Program would start from the date enrolled, not the start of the semester.

□ Be sure to check Paid or Volunteer, depending on if the student is being paid or not for their employment.

Above #5 on the back of the green application write in WE Student’s work schedule (specific days/hours/lunch and breaks etc). Any change in the days or hours must be recorded. Please notify the instructor of any changes.

Fill in # of hours the student will be working weekly. If they are not sure, put an approximation.

*Work Experience job duties - This is listed as #6 on the back of the application. Here it is asking for the student to put down what they do at work (please elaborate). What the student writes here should coincide with what they have on their Objective Work Sheet for Job Description.

*Directions and map to your place of employment - This question is listed on the second page of the application listed under #7. In answering this question use LBCC (specify LAC or PCC) as the starting point. The question is asking for two things:

(1.) Write directions to the students place of employment (2.) Draw a map to the students place of employment (Map and directions may be

done on a computer and submitted by attaching the results to the application) *Record of past employment - This is listed as #8 on the back side of the application

form. It is asking the student to account for any employment they’ve had in the last two years. If the student has not worked before, just put “No Past Employment.”

** After filling out both sides of the application completely, make sure the student signs and dates the back side of the form where indicated.

□ *Objective Form – Fill out both sides (front and back) of the form completely. See the below noted items students usually want clarification on to help fill the form out correctly.

Position Title: Should be the same thing listed on the back side of the application form (under #5) as Position Title. Do not write intern or volunteer.

Job Description: Should be the same thing listed on the back of the application form (under #6) as Job Duties.

Letter “C” under objectives one through three: Need a date within the semester student is enrolled in that they are going to accomplish the objective they have listed.

Letter “E” under objectives one through three: Only one person’s name (first and last) is to be listed here and it must be the same name listed on the front page of the application form as Evaluator.

** The back side of the objective form is to be signed by the WE Students Instructor and Employment Supervisor. Sometimes the Employment Supervisor’s signature is not legible. Please print the name of the Supervisor below his/her signature. The person who signs this form as the Employment Supervisor must be the same person listed on the front of the WE students application form, as Supervisor under the Work Experience Employment section.

□ *All instructors have time lines that have to be followed. It is important that each WE Student turn in their paperwork by the time lines given. It is the WE Students responsibility to make sure paperwork is in on time, legible, filled out completely, accurate, and has all the required signatures.

□ *Students who fail to meet the program requirements and have not dropped the course will be awarded the grade of “F”. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the course……not the Instructors.

□ *Failure to meet any of these requirements can result in no credit for the Work Experience Program.

□ *Thank you for participating in the LBCC Vocational Cooperative Work Experience Program. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask your Instructor or call Patricia Bergen at (562) 938-4938 or mailto:pbergen@lbcc.edu. The Vocational Cooperative Work Experience Office is located at 4901 E. Carson, L.B., CA in room F106.

Examples of Learning Objectives All objectives are to be on-the-job objectives. An on-the-job objective means the objectives is learned on the job.

□ Below are examples of many good objectives. However, no matter how admirable the objective, it should be stated in specific, measurable terms. In each case the same objective is stated in two different ways. “A” is the correct way (specific and measurable) and “B” is stated the wrong way as it is either too general (Vague/ Not specific) or not sufficiently measurable. All objectives are to be learned on-the-job.

A) Prior to the end of the semester I will have constructed a web site consisting of at least 6

Display Ad layouts which have been used by customers of the newspaper. My supervisor will evaluate my work.

B) I will learn to do layouts for newspaper display advertising.

A) I will improve communication with my clients through direct feed-back by asking clients how well I communicate with them and keeping a record of their answers. My supervisor will check my record and this will be completed prior to the end of the semester.

B) I will improve communication between my clients and myself.

A) By ______(date within semester), I will take inventory of all stock items and make a list of items which have had no demand for 6 months or more and submit it to my supervisor.

B) I will take steps to weed out all dead and obsolete stock.

A) Prior to the end of the semester I will increase the number of maintenance follow-up reports from 2 to 4 per week and track them on the computer for my supervisor’s review.

B) I’ll try to do more follow-up reports.

A) I will increase monthly sales by 10% by selling related products, increasing my product

knowledge, and by studying various “sales” oriented texts. My supervisor will evaluate through review of sales receipts and it will be completed by _____ (date within the semester).

B) I will increase my sales each week.

Teaching Philosophy:

□ To achieve the goal of helping students learn, an educator must have a teaching strategy that guides the delivery of the course content and specific tactics that can be used to achieve success. One of the most important ways to provide high quality teaching is to be prepared for each and every class period.

□ An educator should treat each student as an individual. This comes from recognizing that the original role for educators was as a mentor. The mass lecture that is so common in the college setting today was a later adaptation so that a greater number of students could be educated. Although the lecture setting is a necessity, students can still benefit from one-on-one interactions with the instructor.

□ The classroom should not be a venue for one-way communication. An important part of the learning process is expressing individual opinions and receiving feedback about these opinions.

□ To properly educate students at the college level, an educator must make the material he or she is teaching pertinent to students. Often this means that material should be taught in such a way that each student is able to relate to the material and apply it to his or her life and career. This can frequently be accomplished by providing real world examples and cases that demonstrate the concepts that are being taught. For example, frequently utilizing current events to illustrate important concepts and ideas. By discussing information that is in the news and relating such information to the course, students often maintain high levels of interest and are better able to see how the concepts operate in a real setting.

□ It is critical that students be expected to act responsibly, to learn to be professional, and to meet high standards in the classroom. At the same time, it is also important to be fair and evenhanded with all students. To achieve these goals students must adhere to deadlines; they produce quality work, and that they act professionally in their interactions with one another and with the instructor. To make sure that all students have the same opportunity to achieve these goals, always attempt to make expectations about required performance clear both in written as well as verbal instructions.

□ In general, learning is something that is supposed to be fun for all concerned. Yet, too often it seems that students and professors don't experience the fun part of teaching. I think that the best way to learn is to make the topic enjoyable and to create an environment in which students can have a good time while they learn.

Student Responsibilities:

□ Participation A student missing more than two consecutive classes or more than 20 percent of a course

shall be dropped by the instructor. Five late attendances or early departures per semester will result in a grade reduction.

Students must sign in/sign out on the attendance form. No student may sign in/out for another student.

Remember, this is your class time! Please schedule appointments and work schedules around this time period. Past statistics show those whom attended all class sessions had a higher success rate, than those who did not.

Attendance – students are expected to attend all sessions of the class in which they are enrolled. Students should report absences due to illness to the instructor immediately upon returning to class or preferably by contacting the instructor prior to class via email.

Absences: because of enrollment demand, students may be dropped when they do not appear for the first class meeting.

A student may be dropped for excessive absences when one or more absences than the number of class hours per week have occurred.

A student must be dropped for nonattendance if absences total one more than the number of class hours in three weeks. Under extenuating circumstances a student may be reinstated by contacting the instructor and the Dean of Admissions and Records. Extenuating circumstances include verified cases of accident, illness, and death in the family, and other conditions that are beyond the control of the student.

□ Homework First, Second, & Third Semester Work Experience students will receive individual

homework assignments as follows:

12/28/2010 10

First Semester 1. Draft Resume 2. Final Resume 3. Complete Chapters 1 through 6 in textbook

Second Semester

1. Complete Chapters 7 through 14 2. 10 Positions 3. Interview Questions

Third Semester

Homework assignments will be collected at the start of each session. ***No homework

assignments will be accepted after 2 weeks from when the assignments are due. ** Keep track of due dates and do not fall behind. I do not allow late assignments other

than stated in this syllabus

□ Other Expectations Creating a proper teaching environment is the cornerstone of getting a good education. Everyone at Long Beach City College is responsible for helping to create this environment, including students. Simple rules of courtesy apply.

Respect for the Instructor - This means arriving on time, not leaving early, bringing appropriate materials, not speaking with other students while a lecture is in progress, not bringing food or drink to the classroom, not being loud, boisterous, or argumentative.

Respect for Other Students - This means not interfering with the rights of others to listen and participate, not being disrespectful, not using inappropriate language, or harassing others in any way.

□ Projects, including information on group processes

Students discuss a variety of topics at each class meeting (e.g., Writing a Winning Resume, Interview Skills, Listening Skills, Resume Tips, etc.) in order to expand and provide further depth of content.

News articles are gathered and discussed regarding current work related issues on an ongoing basis (e.g: Things to Avoid on Your Resume, 3 Attention-Getting Tactics for Cover Letters, Questions You Should Never Ask at a Job Interview, etc.) in order to expose students to recent developments in the field and provide a forum for discussion and debate.

□ Tests/Exams There are no tests required for the Work Experience: Food Service.

□ Adhere to and complete TBA Hours and projects as assigned

Students must meet the required hours, satisfactorily meet the agreed upon Learning Objectives and earn a grade of “C” or higher in both the Issues class and the Work assignment to earn academic credit.

Academic Honesty: Lack of honesty in the classroom is considered a very serious offense. Any form of cheating on tests, turning in work which is not one’s own (plagiarism), talking during tests, furnishing false information to instructors or knowingly misrepresenting one-self to the college is grounds for disciplinary action. The consequences of cheating are severe and may include the possibility of expulsion. (2010-2011 General Catalog, pg. 31 ??)

12/28/2010 15

Classroom Behavior/Etiquette: All students are expected to conduct themselves in the classroom or any structured academic activity “in a manner consistent with the college’s function as an educational institution.” Any conduct that interferes with teaching, research or administration is subject to possible disciplinary action. All LBCCD students are responsible for adhering to the District’s code of student conduct, which can be found in the schedule of classes. Please remember that cell phones, two ways and pagers should be turned off while in class. Eating and drinking is also prohibited in all buildings except where food is sold or is part of an approved and scheduled activity (2010-2011 College Catalog, pg. 32 ??) Students with Disabilities: Students with disabilities needing accommodation should make requests to Disabled Students Programs & Services, LAC A119 (562) 938-4558, 938-4833 TTY or PCC AA119 938-3921 or by logging into http://dsps.lbcc.edu Please, discuss approved accommodations with me. All requests for assistance require advance notice to avoid a delay in services. Campus Resources: (List here – optional)
