Journal Guidelines

Internships are essential to developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities you need in order to realize your career goals. The three journal entries in this course,
in Modules Two, Four, and Six, ask you to reflect on your experiences during your internship and what you learned from your Neehr Perfect assignments.
Approach these activities as opportunities to reflect on and apply what you have learned up to that point. As a successful professional, you will need good
reflection and writing skills, and journal activities offer you the opportunity to further develop these skills.
Note: Journals are private between you and your instructor.
Guidelines for Submission: Articulate your insights and ideas in a professional manner. Include citations and references in APA format where appropriate. Use
language appropriate to the industry and company, providing annotations to clarify as necessary (for example, explain company-specific acronyms). Submit
assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
