Case 2: Two weeks later, the intern is responsible for weeding invasive species and leaving some native plants that are naturally returning to the soil. After clear instructions and plant identification, the intern nods and agrees that they are ready to begin and able to finish the area that they have been tasked with. Once the intern has started, the intern notices how time consuming the method of weeding is that they have been asked to use. The native plants are hard to see and rare. It makes more sense to weed faster since there are many invasive species taking over, and the intern wants to prove that they are efficient and effective in their job. The intern clears the area they are responsible for and hasn't found any of the small native plants. After completing the task, the supervisor asks how it went and states that they are surprised at how quickly the work was finished. The next day, the supervisor has had a chance to walk through the area the intern was weeding and notices that not a single native plant was saved. When the supervisor approaches the intern to discuss this with them, the intern states that they "forgot about the native plants, and "there weren't any there anyways." The intern then shares that they offered to help another person with their area and weeded more than was assigned in an effort to be helpful. The supervisor asks which areas specifically the intern worked in and finds that no native plants were saved. When the intern is given responsibilities, the following pattern emerges: The intern often agrees verbally and nods while listening to instructions, but does not ask questions or for clarification about the procedures until the intern is corrected by a colleague or the supervisor. The intern is usually the first to finish a task but the supervisor often asks for certain steps to be repeated or reviewed. The supervisor and the intern do not consistently agree about when work is completed or which tasks need to be prioritized over others in order to ensure high quality and demonstrate a strong work ethic. In the absence of step-by-step instructions from the supervisor, the intern creates the most efficient method for completing their tasks, even if that doesn't utilize some of the applicable skills or practices the supervisor has trained the intern to use. Which course of action would have been most effective at alleviating the problems experienced in Case 2? And WHY ? A. The supervisor needs to initiate a conversation about the intern's performance and provide the intern with feedback about their performance. B. The intern should initiate a meeting with the supervisor to provide some feedback to the supervisor and let them know that their directions are not always clear, and that they should be providing more detailed instructions more often. C. At the start of the next assignment, the intern should clarify the task with the supervisor including the steps involved and what each step entails and how long each step should take. D. At the start of the next assignment, the intern could speak with the supervisor one-on-one and discuss which parts of the assignment to prioritize and identify who could answer questions during the process. If needed, the intern and supervisor could complete a small example together, so that they both have the same understanding of the task. E. The intern needs to ask for a partner to work with, so that they can check-in more consistently on their progress and hold each other accountable for completing their work properly and thoroughly
