Lab Group
WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?
Three major expectations:



Ask for help if you are stuck.
Be accountable for your work.

Suggestions:

I don’t care what hours you work as long as you are responsive to emails and get your
work done (Sometimes the Grad RA will set hours for you)
You may find that getting work done is easier if you set hours for yourself. You can come
in to the office to work (arrange with the Grad RA)
You will get out of this internship what you put into it – the more you work the greater
will be your responsibilities. This includes learning new skills, good recommendation
letters, etc.
