Question: In the second week of her eight-week internship, Amala realizes that the project requires inputs from subjects she studied in her third trimester. However, during the third trimester, Amala was significantly distracted by an inter-college sports meet, affecting her grasp of the subjects.
Option 1 is incorrect as networking may help her get a job, but will not help her in completing the project, which is the basis for the PPO. Option B can also be eliminated as designing her own project will take a lot of her time and there is no guarantee that it will be accepted by her mentor. If in case the project designed by her is rejected by her mentor, then she will still be left with the problem of completing her project. If Amala asks her mentor to allocate a different project, it will imply that she cannot cope with things that she is not comfortable or familiar with. This will bring down her performance. Thus option 3 can be eliminated. Between options 4 and 5, the latter is a better choice as it will let her mentor know her limitations and he can be in a better position than Shabnam to help her complete the project.
