What did you learn about yourself through the practicum?
Please use my blog website which I described my task for each week to help you write this paper : https://nshields2000.wixsite.com/website
The final assignment of the practicum is a detailed, thoughtful paper (2-4 pages) which the student addresses the following points:
Responsibilities as an Practicum
o Duties
o Accomplishments
o Goals (did you achieve them)
Critical Analysis
o Was the job associated with the practicum what you expected? Why?
o In which ways did your communication skills/courses help you accomplish tasks associated with your
o practicum?
o What did you learn about yourself through the practicum?
o What new technical skills did you learn during your practicum? How did you apply this knowledge to fulfill your practicum responsibilities
o If you were to engage in this practicum experience again, which of your duties would you change and why?
o Evaluate the supervision received: How helpful was it? In which areas was it good or bad? Why? Be candid. Your site supervisor will NOT see your report, and your faculty supervisor would appreciate your suggestions.
o Explain any mistakes you made. Why did you make them, and how did/would you avoid repeating them?
o What type of work provided you the most valuable experience? Why?
o Would you recommend this Practicum job to other students? Why or why not?
