Internship Week #2

I see my role at my internship as an important one, throughout this week I have been doing a lot of site scrubbing.  What this entails is me going through every possible page on a website, making sure every link and every interactive piece works as intended.  Also I look for any visual defects, such as places where the website doesn't look as intended in the original design.  I also check for the functionality of the web site making sure that the website is easy to navigate, use and doesn't confuse the person looked to do something on the site.

Some of the experiences I will bring back to help further my academic experiences are those of organization and thoroughness.  Throughout my time here I have learned the usefulness of keeping things in line and organized.  I also found the usefulness of double checking everything before calling it done.  I have had to check several many things many times and find that I missed something the previous time.

The culture at my internship is very open and forthcoming.  There are no isolating cubicals separating people from each other.  It is a very calm and "expanding" environment where everyone can talk to each other and bounce ideas off each other.  Everyone is very friendly and open to critique.  The work goes through many of the people as the process of development continues.
