This is an iCourse course; therefore, it requires a computer with internet access and the following technologies:

● Web browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari)

● Adobe Acrobat Reader (free)

● Adobe Flash Player (free)

● Microsoft Office (Microsoft 365 is free for all currently-enrolled ASU students) – all assignments for class must be returned in .doc; .docx or .pdf format – other formats will not be compatible and cannot be opened and graded.

Microsoft Office available for free through My ASU.

You are required to use Microsoft Office for all assignments for this class. The assignments are interactive forms that allow you to complete each field. Microsoft Word is required for the Internship Learning Agreement, Midterm and Final Evaluation. Microsoft Excel is required for the Internship Timesheet.

Please note: other software (Pages, Goggle docs, etc.) will result in errors on these assignments that will result in point deductions.

The Newest Version of Microsoft Office is FREE for all ASU students to download and use on all personal computers and devices. Click on this link to learn more.

There are many ways to create a pdf document. Below are some suggestions to help you.

Scan the document as a PDF document

• Use your home scanner to scan all pages of your document and convert it to a PDF. If needed Google a tutorial for your scanner.
• All ASU libraries have scanners that will email a scanned document to your ASU email, ask a librarian for help.
• In most cases, your site will have a copier/scanner that they use for business. ALWAYS ask permission from your site supervisor before using their scanner for your documents.

Utilize a phone app to scan your document. There are many applications available that take pictures of your document and convert it to a PDF.

• Free applications that students have used in the past include: Genius Scan (FREE), Cam Scanner (FREE) and Tiny Scanner (FREE). Be sure to crop the photo to the page. Ensure I can read the entire document before submitting to Canvas.

For this class, you are required to submit your assignments as one PDF. This may be a new experience for some of you.

Do

1. Print all pages of your assignment (document) on paper
2. Secure signatures from the student and the site supervisor (if applicable). Electronic signatures are not accepted.
3. Scan the document utilizing a scanner or your phone
4. Rename the document to the appropriate assignment name
5. Submit the file (one PDF document) to blackboard.

Don't

1. Don't try to merge multiple file types (ex: don't merge the word assignment with a single PDF signed page).
2. Don't take pictures of your computer monitor
3. Don't submit a word file, a png file or any other non-pdf file.

All communication from the intern (student) must be professional at all times. This includes written and verbal communication with the Internship Coordinator, TA, the site and task supervisors and clients.

Please review email etiquette guidelines here.

When applying for internships and future jobs, always use your ASU email address. Your future employer will see your email address first and you want to represent yourself as an ASU graduate.
