Internship / Cooperative Education Final Report
Instructions
Please submit a typed report in a Word document. Answers must be in complete sentence form,
reflective, giving specific examples of situations and tying in your internship experience and
classroom learning.
Example of a complete answer:
Did your Internship site offer you the opportunities you expected in helping you to accomplish
your job objectives? Please explain.
“While I do feel as though I accomplished my objectives, it was in many unexpected ways that I
learned what it takes to be a successful Court Appointed Advocate for battered women. For example,
my #2 objective was “by mid-semester, be able to independently assist women before court in
preparation of seeing their abuser and coaching them through the court process”. I met this goal but did
not realize how much listening would be involved as the women processed their feelings and anxieties
about seeing their abuser in court. I found many of the skills and theories learned in Introduction to
Behavior Therapy and Psychology of Women very helpful. I used reflective listening and reframing to
assist the clients. I accomplished all objectives using similar tools and guidance of my supervisor.”
