Digital Media Intern

May - August 2018 • Clinton, NY

What I liked

I liked the opportunity to work on extensive instructional design projects related to digital media, which allowed me to gain necessary skills. I also began more closely working with professional staff to learn more about instructional design and practice instruction on and off campus through duties ranging from working with the Young Scholars Program in Utica to advising the HEOP Chemistry students.

What I wish was different

I believe I did not have an accurate idea of how long certain projects would take. So I believe I could have been more deliberate and detailed in mapping the estimated time project work required to complete it within the time frame of the summer.

Advice

I would plan out your summer to articulate clear professional and/or academic goals. I would keep track of the amount of time spent on projects to offer a better idea of how demanding projects were, giving myself a better understanding of my pace as a worker and develop ways to increase my efficiency.
