Abstract
Many colleges and universities offer course credit for internships that ideally should help students see how business principles and theories relate to actual practice. This article describes how journal writing can be used to help students integrate what they observed and practiced in the field with what they learned in class, to ensure that they will gain academically from the internship. Instructions to students, review and comment by the faculty, grading, and ideas for expanding the journal assignment are discussedcerns about academic quality (McCaskey, 1988).Keywords
