Self-Assessment
In every learning environment, it is important to determine how well you achieved the goals you set for yourself. In your internship, you and your supervisor will evaluate your work and provide feedback on formal and informal levels. On this page, you will evaluate yourself as a learner in the internship environment. Answer these "thinking" questions as they relate to your internship experience:
I USED TO THINK...
(Here, you will describe what your original thoughts were about your ability to perform as a STEM intern. Did you feel that you had the knowledge, skills, and experience to be successful? What were your original expectations for the experience?)
BUT NOW I THINK...
(Here, you will describe how your thinking has changed. What do you now think about your abilities? Do you feel that you have the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to continue the path toward your chosen field? How were you challenged academically, socially, professionally?)
Post your intern evaluations here and write a reflection describing what you think about the results. Analyze your strengths and areas for improvement. How you plan to address areas needing improvement as you prepare for the next level?
