Completing Your Internship
Tracking Your Hours
Fulfill the hourly obligation with the organization for the number of credits you expect to earn, i.e. 45 hours for each credit taken.
Maintain a Work Log
Maintain a journal or log in which you describe your assignments and record the number of hours worked at each. It is also a good idea to enter here the type of learning experience you gained in each task. At the end of the semester you should present the log to your supervisor(s) to make sure that your records correspond to theirs. The completed log, with supervisor’s signature, should then be turned into the department’s internship coordinator during the last week of classes.
