The educational value of business internships can be enhanced through academic assignments. Seven assignments are suggested that are both practical and reflective in nature. These assignments are described in terms of their ability to promote the following learning objectives: (a)understand one's self and the job context, (b) gather evidence of experience gained, (c) learn how to learn from experience, and (d) integrate theory and practice.
