On-the-Job Training Guidelines
GUIDELINE FOR MAJOR PRACTICE OR PRACTICUM
The major practice or practicum option gives the student opportunity to observe a farm, plant or laboratory, or other establishments, which will provide additional practical experience. The student is exposed to actual conditions, which are not normally encountered in the usual courses being offered by the university.
The student normally registers the major practice during summer (5 units), since this activity needs continuous attention. The remaining 1 unit is registered for Major Practice during the succeeding semester for completion. Thus, it is credited for 6 units. In some instances, a student may enroll the major Practice or Practicum during the semester, provided that sufficient time is allotted for this purpose. The adviser is responsible in determining the appropriateness of the semestral enrollment.
