I'm personally unfamiliar with the word 'practicum' so I've been describing it as "an unpaid internship."
Noel just pointed out that it's actually worse than an unpaid internship: I'm paying for the privilege of providing unpaid labour. And since I'm not a wet-behind-the-ears college student, they'll be getting a decent amount of actual labour out of the process.
Sigh. At least there's the credential at the end of it.
(Starts Monday, with a week of actually-in-office.)
