This course presented a significant amount of critical information for a new intern to get started. It also reassures a new intern that learning will be on going throughout the internship. If you are unsure, always ask your leadership and they will provide you with the needed information.
Most of this course is, as other reviews have said, a repeat of the general boot camp course. This is just fine, though -- repetition is useful for learning! The parts that were not repeated contained useful links, emails, and files that will help me later. Thank you!
Provided valuable info on the writing department and the process of VOD\'s and other work. The solid amount of overlap between the general bootcamp and this one made it in some cases unnecessarily longer, but it still helped drill the info into my head!
The course was helpful in explaining what a writing intern does.
I thought it was solid overall, a little bit repetitive with having the same lessons as in the general Bootcamp, but that\'s just a minor complaint.
This course was very thorough and helped me comfortable starting my internship.
The course was well put together.
