I liked having the opportunity to work on several different jobs, seeing them through all phases of the process. I was able to learn valuable new skills, while on coop. I am assured that I am on the right track in my education and carreer.
What I wish was different
I do wish that I was able to have more prior knowedge before starting my position. I was lost at times and had to teach myself how to complete some of the calculations. While this was and educational experience, I believe I coud have accomplished more work in a shorter period of time had I already learned how to carry some of the calculations.
Advice
Do not be discouraged by any lack of knowledge. Co-op is supposed to be a learning experience. Do not be afraid to ask questions and ensure you fully understand the work you (and those around you) are doing.
