Satisfactory: The Student’s skills are applied quite consistently, with some gaps; the student is on task towards developing his/her core competencies as expected for a under graduate level social work intern.

Unsatisfactory: The student has had the opportunity, but has not developed any of the core competencies even at the beginning phase of skill development. The student is in jeopardy of receiving a recommended final grade, less than a“C”. I would like to meet with the Field Liaison.
