Internship Midterm and Final Evaluation Surveys Aligned with Course Goals and IUPUI+

Abstract

These student and employer midterm and final evaluation surveys for an internship course were developed to provide a quick means for internship students and their supervisors to reflect on the students’ progress toward meeting the course goals and the two IUPUI Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success (IUPUI+) most closely associated with the course. The student surveys also gather important information from students on their supervisors’ ability to communicate policies and expectations, offer support and constructive feedback, and uphold the internship objectives and student learning outcomes. Employers’ surveys also ask them to report on the students’ timeliness and adherence to organizational policies. Survey feedback helps the internship course instructor ensure that students’ supervisors are providing true learning experiences in safe environments and that students are performing well in their positions and meeting the course goals. Feedback from the surveys is one of several means used in assessing the students’ grades for the work performed on-the-job at their internships.
