Faculty and Staff

Students will have access to Big Interview through their Handshake account. Instructions on how students can access this resource can be found on our Interviewing resources page.

One of the greatest features of Big Interview is the Assignments option. With this option it's possible to create assignments with custom interview question sets (based on industry, competencies, etc.). Once an assignment is created, access can be emailed directly to students in the course. Big Interview will utilize artificial intelligence to provide feedback on the student's answers and students are able to share their answers externally via email or through a single link (which they can then upload to Canvas). This is a great way to encourage interview practice.

Internships taken for academic credit are work experiences designed, conducted and evaluated within an academic context. Students earn academic credit while working in a professional setting. Ongoing communication, feedback and evaluation among students, faculty and work supervisors ensure that educational and work goals are met.
