Students should have regular check-ins and correspond directly with their supervisor at least twice per week. You will also want to keep a log of your project that can be submitted to your supervisor on a weekly basis to track your progress. Having regular communication will help prevent these kinds of issues. If you feel like the estimated project length was significantly misrepresented, have a conversation with the employer about it. Connect with a Career Counselor if you need tips on how to have this type of conversation.
