WOW Evaluation - Learning 2012
Exit this survey >>

The Hiatt Career Center is eager to know about your internship experience and the effectiveness of the WOW program. This evaluation will help us to learn about the nature of your internship and to enhance the program for future participants.

Please take your time answering the questions below. Be honest in your responses - there is absolutely no "penalty" for not achieving everything you set out to do or for identifying negative aspects of your experience. Hiatt understands that the world of work is a journey, not a destination. Likewise, this information is anonymous and will be used to evaluate our internal processes.

In this section, we are asking for data concerning you and your organization so that we may compare student learning across a variety of variables. You may notice a repetition of some questions from your evaluation of internship - while that data concerns all of Brandeis, this data pertains only to WOW Fellows.

This section has two parts - first, you will provide an indication of your abilities in a number of areas BEFORE your internship, and then your sense of growth in these abilities AFTER your internship. If your internship did not give you an opportunity for learning in a particular area, you might assign the same number to the question(s) in both parts. You will have a chance to explain why you did or did not grow in certain areas.
