If you visited two companies this year

Some students had to visit two companies in order to fit two years' study visit seminars in one year. If you are one of these students, you need to write a double length (1000-1200 words) reflection, where the first half should answer the four first reflection point below regarding your first study visit and the second half should answer all reflection points (including the comparison) regarding your second study visit. Submit your reflection in the ordinary way, but also mail the link to the document to viggo@kth.se.

The written reflection

Write a reflection document where you address the following points based on your study visit and your small recruitment research. Make sure that you bring up both positive and negative aspects. The document should be 500-800 words.

  • Give a short description of the company and the visit. Did you learn anything new that you did not know before? Reflect upon why it was new to you.
  • How do you and your competence match the company you visited? If not, what competences would you need to develop and how would you do that?
  • What insights have you gained that may influence your studies, choice of degree project or future plans?
  • What role does the company fill in society? Do you want to be part of what the company is doing? Reflect upon how important it is to you that the company you work for has values that you share.
  • (only for year 2) Compare the study visit last year with this one. What was similar? And what was different? 
  • Finally, write a paragraph where you reflect on the courses you are currently taking and the courses (or degree project) that you have chosen to take next semester.

Hand in the reflection

Your written reflection must be handed in before 13.00 on November 24. Maybe you should once again look at the shortvideo showing how to upload the document to Google Drive 
You should begin the document by stating your name followed by prosamm17 or prosamm16 (depending on whether you study the first or second year of the master's program). The link to the document should be put (not earlier than November 17) in a file with your name in the AFS directory 
/afs/nada.kth.se/info/prosamm17/seminars-1718/period-2/group-X 

on the CSC Ubuntu computers, where X is your group's number (the same as last time - if you forgot you can find it in Rapp). It you are not using a CSC computer, ssh to u-shell.csc.kth.se and use Unix commands to access the directory. If you have problems, read page 45 in Introduction to Unix.
If you did not participate in the seminar in period 1 your group number might have been removed from Rapp. If this is the case, and you still want to take the course, you need to contact Viggo (viggo@kth.se).

You also need to read the other group members' reflections and comment on them, see the next assignment.

Have you missed anything in this course?

If you look at your results in Rapp (Grades in Canvas for prosamm17) you should have three marks (1 or G) for each seminar: reflection document, comments and seminar, in order to pass the course. If you missed anything you will need to read the instructions on how to fix this.

Are you looking for a summer job abroad?

In that case you might want to check the following CERN student programme:
