This is a phase I never really thought about before. I believe that this a great addition and provides an easy way to evaluate skills that sometimes may be more difficult to identify in a school setting. 

I believe this is the most critical step in WBL. Supervision of students to ensure they are adhering to employers expectations.

How important documentation is to achieving successful WBL experiences. 

Successful internships require communication skills, and understanding expectations of the job required.

Internships are a great way for students to gain real-world field knowledge. 

When I was beginning the journey of WBL, the idea of pre-surveying internship spots never even crossed my mind. I love the idea of an exit interview as well. 

This is the part of the WBL process that gives me the most anxiety. Supervising and facilitating are key components and I think proper implementation is a key element. 

This module just reinforced the importance of documentation of the internship experience. 

Internships are such a great way for students to explore interests, develop workplace skills, and set them on career pathways. 

Responsibilities should be spelled out clearly to the intern. The responsibilities should be included in the contract and gone over with the intern. As the internship progresses the responsibilities might change and the changes should be discussed. During the internship it is helpful to keep a journal of the experiences the intern has. Also giving a presentation of what the intern has learned during this period should be provided.
