5/6/2016 The Senior Consultant Internship is officially over as of today. It has been an eventful, and mildly stressful, semester being an intern. I went in without really knowing why I decided to apply for the internship, with a lot of apprehension over the internship class, my future co-workers, the workload, and the road to…Continue Reading Week 15 : Last Week
Roth Regatta This was the week of Roth Regatta! For the first time in my college career, I helped construct a boat made of cardboard and duct tape, raced it and felt both triumphant and downtrodden for the experience. It is a funny sensation, making a boat like device to wade through the dark, mysterious abyss…Continue Reading Week 14 : 4/29
Shadowing During my shadowing hours in MAIN, there unfortunately has not been much traffic in the site for me to be able to garner experience dealing with all the different problems that are typically encountered. Luckily, my mentors are willing to enact scenarios with me so that I can gain a sense of professionalism in…Continue Reading Week 13 : 4/22
Shadowing During my mentoring hours, I have been mainly spending time working on my e-Portfolio, Google Site and SB You Blog. Most of the hours are pretty slow. I am grateful that in TLL, Helen and David allow me to take charge of the desk and act as the current Senior Consultant for that hour,…Continue Reading Week 12 : 4/15
Shadowing 4/4 I shadow in Main for one hour and then immediately move to TLL for another hour. In these 2 hours, I shadow two of the more experienced Senior Consultants, who I personally feel are more than competent at their job despite their individualistic approaches. In Main, Ming and LuLu went through a lot…Continue Reading Week 11 : 4/8
Shadowing I currently shadow Ming/LuLu and Yun Shi/David during my mentoring hours in Main, and I shadow David and Helen during my TLL mentoring hours. I actually really liked being able to switch to a whole different set of mentors half way through the semester. As my shadowing time drew to an end with the…Continue Reading Week 10 : 4/1
Shadowing It was a new week for shadowing for us interns. Due to agreements made prior to spring break to take multiple subs for fellow consultants, I had a slight issue with making a proper schedule for shadowing this week. Instead of the normal hours that I signed up for, which just so happened to…Continue Reading Week 9 : 3/25
Shadowing This week was my last shadowing session with Adrienne, Jenney, Jeff and Michelle. Compared to the first week that I spent with them, I definitely felt more at ease. I went in expecting to be under strict supervision and intense lecturing, but it turned out to be a very engaging learning process. I got…Continue Reading Week 7 : 3/11
Shadowing 3/2 Today in the morning, I encountered a problem regarding a user’s card not being able to read through at the Omega station. Jeff went through the standard procedures about how to deal with users like that: a Word document must be opened, and then the card will be swiped at the 2 readers…Continue Reading Week 6 : 3/4
Shadowing 2/23 During my shadow hour with Adrienne, we encountered several individuals with clicker issues. I learned the importance of first assessing the issue, seeing if the problem arose from anything outside the clicker’s software system, like physical damages, license problems, battery deficiencies and so forth. Any further issues that can’t be fixed by updating…Continue Reading Week 5 : 2/26
