HTM 302 Hospitality Internship
General Guidelines for All Three Student Reports
All students enrolled in HTM 302 are required to submit to Blackboard detailed reports of their experience, which will
consist of three reports due on three specified dates. Please check with the HTM 302 Instructor if you are unsure of
whether or not you have fulfilled all of the requirements.
Reports should be submitted to Blackboard. Specific due dates will be posted at the beginning of each semester.
Students will receive emails well in advance to inform them of all deadlines.
Every report should have a title page, which includes the student’s name, student ID number, campus phone number,
name of the organization, and location of the internship.
Reports should be double-spaced with 1 inch margins on all sides using 12 pitch Times New Roman font.
Required: Subject headingsfor each section. You must list the subject heading and then list the question
followed by the answer. Answers should be informative. The student will be asked to address information specific to the
internship which is to be completed in an organized question and essay format. There are three reports required.
o Report #1 covers organizational information such as background of the organization and the organizational
structures as well as management philosophy and clientele and a critique of the organization.
o Report #2 consists of specific information regarding the first rotational on-the-job experience.
o Report #3 covers the second two rotations of on-the-job experiences and also covers the overall evaluation and
critique of the internship.
All reports must be submitted in sufficient detail to adequately cover what the student learned. The student
should be able to complete this report with information that they have gained through training and observation of the
organization and should not simply copy and paste from the company’s website, although the website may be used as a
reference source.
The students are encouraged to keep a daily journal to assist them when writing the three sections of the Student
Report.
Refer to the specific details in the syllabus for each report for more information.
Please Note: Failure to follow the format and do a quality job will result in you receiving a much lower grade or no
credit for each part.
