Throughout your education, you have been asked to research topics and write papers, engage in thought-provoking discussions, consider diverse perspectives, and a host of other challenges that have required you to use both your discipline-specific skills as well as your soft skills. These are called transferable skills, and are skills that you develop that can be transferred and applied within your chosen career. Transferable skills are highly valuable and essential for career success.

Throughout this course, you have been working on a project that allowed you to demonstrate your understanding of the transferable skills. It is now time to submit your project/assignment and add a transferable skills reflection.

To complete this assignment, you will need to do the following:

Part I: Compiling Your Exemplar Project

• Compile all of your completed course project assignment deliverables. Place them in the proper order, and save them in a single Microsoft Word document.

Part II: Transferable Skills Self Reflection

1.In a minimum of 1 full page, using Microsoft Word, write an essay (full introduction and conclusion), which includes the following:

• Describe the knowledge, skills and/or attitudes regarding each of the transferable skills that you’ve gained as a result of completing this particular project/assignment.
• Discuss the ways that you are going to incorporate the transferable skills (the transferable skills that you showcased in your exemplary project) into your work within your chosen career field.
• Describe your future goals based on the transferable skills that you’ve chosen to showcase.
• Write your paper utilizing proper tone, spelling and grammar.

Once you have completed your reflection assignment, add it to the end of the document you compiled in part I. The self-reflection should be the last few pages of your exemplar project. If done correctly, everything will be one document!

Save the compiled document to a folder. Then, zip or compress the folder, and submit the zipped folder to the drop box.

Note: For help with zipping or compressing your files, please visit the How Do I Zip Files? page.

Submit your completed assignment to the drop box below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Save your assignment as a zipped folder. (Mac users, please remember to append the “.zip” extension to the filename.) The name of the file should be your first initial and last name, followed by an underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the date. An example is shown below:

Initial Learning Objective Report – STHM3185 – Internship I

As part of the STHM 3185 – Internship I experience, you will be required to develop Learning Objectives throughout the course of the semester to continue developing yourself professionally.  Each month, you will be required to develop two (2) new learning objectives for the following month to complete.  Each Learning Objective will be based around one of the eight (8) career competencies Download eight (8) career competenciesemployers are seeking in graduates.  For definitions on each career competency, refer to the Career Competency Definitions document listed in the Syllabus section of Canvas.

For the two (2) required learning objectives, one learning objective must be established within the STHM Designed Competency for the month.  The other learning objective may be within competencies of your choosing.  

Purpose of Learning Objectives:

Learning Objectives are statements that clearly define what you intend on learning over the course of the next month of your internship experience.  It is also important to remember the internship course is for academic credit, which learning objectives will be used to evaluate final grading and not just the hours completed at the internship site.  The learning objectives will be used to ensure you are building a foundational skill base that will be beneficial as you move forward in your early career.  The learning objectives should help the student, Site Supervisor, and University Supervisor evaluate the learning progress at the conclusion of each month.  Learning objectives should not try to cover all aspects of the internship, but rather focus on select areas you will be exposed to throughout the internship.  Each Learning Objective should involve new learning, expanded growth, or improvement on the job.  

Learning Objective Guidelines:

Follow the guidelines below when writing your Learning Objectives.  You will be required to rewrite the Learning Objectives at a lower point score if they do not follow the guidelines or meet requirements.  

Learning Objectives are a collaborative effort between the student and Site Supervisor.  Your Site Supervisor must agree on the objectives and tasks necessary to accomplish them.

Each Learning Objective must be specific, measurable, and limited to a single definite result.  A measurable Learning Objective is a statement that clearly and precisely describes what it is that you intend to accomplish by performing a task(s).  Think about the Start of Semester Career Competency Assessment you recently completed.  What areas did you rate yourself lower in?  These would be ideal items to focus on establishing Learning Objectives. 

When developing Learning Objectives:

• Avoid broad and general objectives; make them specific and as measurable as possible
• The objectives should be realistic considering the time constraint (one month to complete).  How would you accomplish the objective (be specific)?
• What knowledge (be specific) do I want to acquire during the internship?
• What new skills do I want to master?

The following are examples of tasks or goals; they are not learning objectives:

• I want to work on PowerPoint presentations.
• I want to answer questions about various programs offered.
• I want to undertake projects that enable me to gain further experience in sales.
• I want to participate as a team member in day to day office tasks.
• I want to attend meetings.

Examples of strong learning objectives:

• I will network and establish professional contacts in the marketing industry by attending PR events and attending client meetings, with a goal of establishing ten relevant contacts.
• I will become proficient in Microsoft Excel by creating financial spreadsheets to be used to conduct company financial analyses. My spreadsheets and written analysis will be evaluated by my site supervisor
• I will develop stronger people skills and learn how to establish a strong customer relationship by attending client meetings and listening to telephone conversations. I also will conduct three practice client presentations to department staff, and assist with at least one actual client presentation. My supervisor will evaluate my skills in these presentations.

Quality of work:

You will be evaluated on how much effort and depth of tough you put into your assignments, on your professionalism in written communication, and on your work ethic and the quality of your assignments. Effective time management will be critical to your success in this course. To be successful in this course, keep in mind the following items:

• Focus on your writing. College quality work is grammatically correct and free of typographical errors. Points will be deducted for mechanical and structural errors such as capitalization, punctuation, spelling, misuse of words, formatting, paragraph structure, fragments and run on sentences, etc. Communication skills are the #1 skill employers seek, and strong written skills can make or break whether you get an interview, job offer, or promotion. 
• Please be sure to thoroughly proofread your work; failure to do so will impact your grade on assignments.
