4. How is the internship meeting or not meeting your expectations/objectives and why? Do you have control of this? Explain.

            Overall my internship is meeting my expectations and objectives. Before I started my internship, I knew the type of work I would be doing during it, so my expectations we already set in the aspect of what I would be doing. Because objectives that I would have during the internship were already set, so again they are meeting my expectations because I knew that they were already set. The other half of my expectations for the job is how I would enjoy the work. My expectations are being meet so far with how I like the work, so far everything I have done is what I like to do. All my expectations and objectives have been met with this internship.
           

            With my objectives and expectations, I mostly can’t control them. This is I have enjoyed this internship a lot, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work at Duke. I do have control of my expectations of the internship, because it is what I want to complete and learn during the internship. Mostly the control of my expectations is out of my control.

8. What have you learned about yourself and what you want in a career?

So far I have learned a lot about myself. As much fun as I had in my internship I couldn't see myself working that job for the rest of my life. In my career I want to be out in the field and working with hands on things. I could not see myself working in a desk for the rest of my life. On the other hand the work that I did was fun. I enjoyed making a website and I wish I could have worked more with the other websites. That part of the job I could do. Overall my internship taught me a lot about what I want to do with my life and what type of job I want in the future.

9. What major problems or frustrations have you experienced or observed in your work? How did you handle it?

9. What major problems or frustrations have you experienced or observed in your work? How did you handle it?              My main project was creating a new website for some old material that my boss had and wanted updated. So of course, my main problem came from this project. The problem was that I needed to put videos into my website that had Closed Captioning, but that did not take up a lot of size. I also needed to create the closed captioning for the videos. This was a problem because I did not know how to add closed captioning files to an imbedded video. So, to handle it I talked with my boss about the site and we decided to go with a YouTube player so the closed captioning files could be added easier, and for the closed captioning I found a site that was easy to work on. Because of deciding to go with a YouTube player, and working on a website for CC I fixed my problem of videos on my website.

3. How have your classroom experiences prepared you for the internship? What do you wish you had learned prior to the internship?

3. How have your classroom experiences prepared you for the internship? What do you wish you had learned prior to the internship? Many different experiences I have had in the classroom have helped me during my internship. They have helped me with the quality of my work and my ability to change when something needs to be fixed. For example, one of my teachers changed a project after we had worked on it a bit and it helped me learn how to adapt more. Similarly, I had to change a project up a bit after I had worked on it for a while. Other experiences in the classroom have prepared me by improving my quality of work, so when I am working in my internship I can bring a higher quality of work. Before my internship I learned a lot of good skills from many of my classes but there are a few things that I wished I learned before I started. It would have benefited me if I had learned different html code. During my html class, we learned a lot of useful code, but the way...
