At the end of the internship, the student must submit a paper repeating the mid-term task description
assignment but focusing on the tasks completed from the mid-point to the end of the internship. In
addition the student must explain what courses taken at Stevenson University helped them complete the
tasks. Consider all courses taken. The narrative explanation should be specific in mentioning the
knowledge and skills gained from the specific courses and how they were used in completing the tasks.

internship clarify or define any career goals and how?
