Throughout Week 2, I attended the Team 2 Meeting and watched the recording of the FPGA Training. I also worked to facilitate responses with the Vaping Survey the group had. I learned how essential communication is when working in a team and how important it was to follow up with those who I sent the survey too. Throughout the internship, I have learned about project management skills and learning more about FPGAs is very interesting. Three achievement highlights throughout week 2 would be I have getting to know others on the team a little bit better, expanded my knowledge on FPGAs, and learned a little bit more about the different kinds of vaping equipments. The goals for this upcoming week would be to set up a time to meet with the Team members, work on the project presentation that is due next week, and work on planning the Happy Hour.
This self-assessment is great! I would just divide the sentences to these categories:
- Concise overview of things learned. Break it up into Technical Area, Tools, Soft Skills
- Three achievement highlights
- List of meetings/training attended including social team events
- Goals for the upcoming week.
- Detailed statement of tasks done. State each task, hurdles faced if any and how you solved the hurdle. You need to clearly mark whether the hurdles were solved with the help of training webinars, some help from project leads or significant help from project leads.
Let me know if you would like to see an example of one of mine I did for the bioinformatics pathway.
