My midpoint evaluation


On Wednesday, I had a mid-point evaluation session with my manager to discuss my progress towards my set goals for my Explore internship. Before the meeting, I submitted a written evaluation highlighting my achievements, looking back at the six weeks I have spent at my internship, the business impact of my accomplishments, and my plan for the next half of the internship experience.
Since my intern team spent the first four weeks of the internship working through product management, I mentioned my contribution toward successful product specification like conducting over ten user interviews, developing user scenarios, and prototype designs for our feature. My manager appreciated how thorough our product specification was and was pleased with how we utilized those four weeks to empathize with our target audience.
Additionally, I mentioned my current role in the software engineering phase of our project, where I have taken on several fundamental tasks for the project. These tasks required me to research how different parts of the Excel codebase work together and write code to achieve our project requirements. My manager recognized my growth during the past two weeks of the software development phase and appreciated how the extensive research I carried out allowed me to find some insightful findings for our project's progress. For the next six weeks, my manager emphasized how my team should aim at developing an end-to-end experience that we will be able to present during the intern project presentations.
Although I achieved most of my set goals, I highlighted what I wish I had done differently during my written midpoint evaluations and my plan on changing that moving forward in the six weeks. After the evaluations, I feel more focused on completing my remaining tasks for the project's success and preparing for the presentations.
