During today's weekly coop meeting we went over a debriefing process I introduced last week. I had learned of this process in a mentoring session and wanted to incorporate it into our coop experience. Basically, the coop and their lead take time after an assigned task has been completed to review what was learned. It seems really simple right? Well, most of the time we are too busy to stop and take a look back at what transpired. We took one coops experience and broke it down in great detail, examining each step and each interaction. In doing so we were able to quantify the technical skills that were obtained and a lot of the intangible skills that were obtained. I am hoping the other students paid attention, and will come with their own stories next week. So I would encourage everyone to take the time to examine the experience they had while completing a task, whether its at work or at home.
Stay tuned for more.
