Intent: Rationale for selection of internship (1-2 paragraphs)
2. Introduction: Background, related literature (1-1 1⁄2 pages)
3. Internship Content (1-2 pages);
1 – Organization – Does it flow? Is your information well-organized? Do your paragraphs flow
from one area of information to another? Do they make sense?
2 – Scholarship – Is your information written in a scholarly manner? Is it clear and concise? Is it
understandable?
3 – Grammar – Is your sentence structure correct? Is grammar acceptable? Do you have too
many run-on sentences? Is your punctuation correct?
Some additional grammar items:
a – Slang terms – spell out i.e. lab – laboratory
b – Abbreviate – spell out first then put in parenthesis, i.e., body mass index (BMI)
c – Do not use familiarity in sentence structure; write in 3rd person as much as possible
d – Avoid sentences that say two different things that can not be combined
e – Don’t embellish – get right to the point
