Best Practices
Communicate with your County/City client frequently and CC your instructor and PALS Graduate Assistant on all communications. Frequent communication prevents misunderstandings from developing and builds stronger relationships.
Report any problems early. If you are having trouble communicating with your County/City client or obtaining data, let your faculty and PALS GA know ASAP so that we can push to get this information from the client.
Be open-minded about the project at hand. At times, you may be performing work outside your field of expertise. This happens in the professional world all the time, so be flexible but don't hesitate to reach out to your instructor or County/City client if you need assistance.
Have fun! This is a unique experience and one that we hope will help build your skills, credentials, and confidence.
