Directed Field Experience
I’m really excited about the Directed Field Experiences (DFE) I have had while at the School of Information. Directed Field Experiences are really internships that can be done over the summer or during the school year for CREDIT. I love the concept of getting CREDIT for a “working” experience while I’m in school. To be honest, the idea of DFEs was one of the main selling features of SI for me. I really appreciate the combination of theory and practice I have received which will help me make the transition into a new career field. I did two internships with large corporations and this semester I am working on a project for the University of Michigan Library System’s Usability Working Group. I took 622 last semester and this semester I will be putting it to practice. How cool is that? I should say that 622 is really SI 622: Evaluations of Systems and Services. I forget we have a habit of referring to courses by their number and not their name.
