R|Intern: self-evaluation (midterm)

Amabelle survived her midterm self-evaluation, while "doing lunch" at Gordon Biersch in Mission Valley.

She did well ... quite well! (everyone congratulate amabelle!)

WHAT IS THIS SELF-EVAL? ... The self-evaluation (or self-eval) is part of the internship.

We provide a list of several attributes - qualitative, quantitative, and personality/ human relations. For the midterm self-eval, an intern has an option to eliminate any of the attributes. For the final eval, an intern does the self-eval and then is evaluated formerly evaluated on all attributes by todd and me. (click on the image to see an overview of the evaluation process and the attributes)

As mentioned in the syllabus-lite, during the 1st week, the intern selects the attributes (from our list) for the self-eval. Because this selection happens concurrently with the development of goals & objectives, we encourage the intern to keep the attributes in mind while doing tasks/activities related to the goals & objectives.

GREAT EXPERIENCE! ... Let me tell ya --- it's a great learning experience for everyone involved. And quite often, it's a great opportunity (for everyone involved) to continue moving forward in the internship . It is a worthwhile investment in professional (and personal) development.
