Co-op Final Culminating Assignment - 15%
The Co-op Student Survival Kit
Instructions:
You are to design a SURVIVAL KIT that will include a variety of items that will assist and advise next year’s Co-op student who has been placed
in the same or similar placement as yours. Each item must be thoughtfully drawn up. Once all items have been completed, design a creative
container (this could be an envelope, lunchbox, etc.) Then place the items inside.
What’s Inside?
Include the following:
1. A brief paragraph about your placement, including what you learned there, something about your co-workers, the co-op experience,
etc. (This should be about 5-6 sentences in length).
2. A letter of encouragement
3. A list of Do’s and Don’ts
4. Supervisor’s expectations
5. An anecdote about a funny, humourous or heart-warming experience that happened to you at your placement during your time there.
6. How you made a unique contribution to your job (sports, music, story-telling, food, art, etc.)
7. Daily task sheet – include a range of job tasks and responsibilities throughout the semester
8. What you would change, avoid, and/or improve in order to better the co-op experience
9. Any useful tips or personal advice
Hint: If you write each of the above requirements as a separate journal topic, they you’ll be finished in no time, except for the assembly of
the project! Each must be titled or personal advice.
