Throughout the project, Faisal was extremely supportive and easy to reach out to if I had any concerns. He provided constructive feedback which helped me complete my final submission successfully. Overall, I was able to apply and improve on my academic research skills while also learning about concussion recovery.

There were numerous aspects of this project I enjoyed such as receiving an orientation, being able to contact the employer through slack and having two check-ins. I absolutely felt supported for the research and report writing portions of my project and this allowed me to produce outlines, research summaries and multiple drafts in addition to a final report. Where the project, to my dismay, fell short was with regards to the presentation. I felt that both my position as a student and my time were being taken advantage of since the employer was requiring me to work beyond the 63 hours I had already committed. During my presentation, I was interrupted multiple times and told to redo the presentation due to formatting issues despite notifying the employer that I was already overtime and my availability had ended for this project due to classes resuming. It was also insinuated that I would not get a good or "full" review in the employer's exit survey if I did not go over the 63 hours and redo the presentation on another day. I believe my presentation was complete and had I been allowed to actually finish presenting, I would have gladly taken the employer's feedback at the end and made any necessary changes. I had already gone overtime and kept working, I would not have had any issue going overtime again to make minor tweaks and changes. What I will not do is have my time, which is a courtesy and unpaid past the 60 hours, be rudely dictated. Regardless of my experience, I do think the company's mission is valuable and I learned a tremendous amount about concussion recovery.

This project was very insightful and allowed me to apply my academic research skills in a project that has more of a real-life application.

Throughout the project, Faisal consistently provided me with opportunities to receive constructive feedback, which was instrumental in helping me refine my work and achieve better outcomes. His communication was clear and effective, ensuring that I always understood the objectives and expectations. Faisal was also highly accommodating, creating an environment where I felt comfortable asking for help whenever necessary. His support and guidance were crucial in navigating challenges and successfully completing the project.
