Internship Portfolio Assignment Sheet (Both Classes)

For your internship portfolio, you should do the following:

1. Go into Blackboard and look for the “Internship Portfolio” on the left side of the window. Click on it. Click on the “Internship Portfolio” link in the middle. Add your entries.

2. Your first entry should be put up by Wednesday, February 6, and then each Wednesday after (except spring break), finishing on May 1. I will not look at everyone’s journal every week, but I will have checked all of them by spring break at least once. You need 10 accepted entries to get an “A” on the assignment, 8-9 to get a “B”, 6-7, “C”, 4-5, “D”, fewer than 4, “F”.

3. The entries should be as follows:

Week 1: Your goals at the internship for the semester (at least 3 goals).

Week 2: How you will measure each of those goals.

Week 3: A paragraph describing the internship and your responsibilities (imagine it’s for a cover letter later on).

Week 4: A paragraph describing one project or assignment in substantial detail.

Week 5: A list of three people who might write you a letter of recommendation, with their titles, what their relationship was to you, and their contact information

Week 6: A description of this internship that would fit into your resume.

Week 7: A writing sample (or something similar) that shows what you’ve been doing at the internship.

Week 8: Write a paragraph reflecting what’s working well at the internship so far.

Week 9: Write a paragraph reflecting what’s not working well at the internship so far.

Week 10: Enter something that you want to preserve about the internship

Week 11: Same as last week.

Week 12: Evaluate how well you’ve achieved the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the semester

Week 13: Give an overall evaluation of the internship. Imagine you’re talking to yourself in 10 years.
