Reflective Journals: The reflective journal is a minimum two-page double-spaced document to be submitted at the end of each 50 hours of internship work.  

What is a reflection journal?   These are the primary places for demonstrating meaningful reflections as you address the Learning Objectives: resolve problems and challenges, and document observations and feelings relating to your internship.

The goals of the reflective journal are:

• To provide a forum for deep reflection on your internship experience (i.e., observations, projects/ tasks, challenges, etc.);
• To provide an opportunity to highlight the progress towards achieving your (the intern’s) Learning Objectives;
• To provide an avenue for the Internship Instructors to constantly monitor, coach, and assess the internship experience.

Reflective Journals must include the following:

• Your name
• Course
• Term
• Instructor Name
• TA Name
• Company/Organization Name
• Reflection #___ (this number will change with every submission)
