Overview: Each report will contain three parts: an update on your activities, a link to concepts from communication studies and a career development component.

Length: Approximately 5-7 pages (double spaced, 12 point font)

For this report please do the following:

1. Review. Describe what you have been doing at your internship since your last report. What kinds of activities have you been doing? What kinds of challenges have you encountered? (1 page)

2. Communication. Your final report should build upon your previous assignments by assessing the overall appropriateness and effectiveness of interpersonal, organizational, and rhetorical communication at your organization. First, focus on indicating what people in the organization did well and what they could improve. Second, provide a bulleted list of recommendations you would like to suggest to the organization regarding ways in which they could more appropriately and effectively accomplish their organizational goals. The most important aspects of this section are specificity in your recommendations and detailed explanations for why you are making those specific recommendations (i.e., being very clear about why the organization should make the recommended changes). (3-4 pages)

3. Career. Reflect on your experiences in this career field. Consider the following: Is this a career area that you can see yourself working in for a long time? What do like best/least about this area as a possible career? Did this internship lead you in a different career direction? (If so, explain.) Finally, write a paragraph that details what you need to do next to pursue a career in this field or to start exploring other career options. This purpose for this last paragraph is to get you actively planning to further your career development. (1-2 pages)
