Checking and Tracking Issue Positions Work
Tracking Documents
Every week you will be asked by your supervisor to create a Weekly Report. This Weekly Report serves as a way for your supervisor to check in with how you are doing and what you have been working on, along with the progress of long-term projects.
A Work Tracker is not a document that is required by your supervisor, but it is highly recommended to create one in order to help keep track of what you and your interns have been working on, along with how far you and your team have progressed on long-term projects.
Tracking Documents are incredibly useful to monitor progress of ongoing projects and research, and maintain an understanding of productivity and successful towards research goals.
Issue Positions Work Tracker
Step 1: Open Google Docs and create a new document in the shared Weekly Reports folder that you have created.Step 2: In the first section of the report, create 2 sections to include 'Completed Assignments' and 'Ongoing Assignments' that were worked on in the past week.
Step 3: Once research has begun on Issue Positions research in several states it is necessary to create a section of your weekly report that serves as a “Breakdown of Candidates for this week.” This is where you will list how many candidates in each state were researched over the past week. This information can be found through the weekly report created above.
Example:
- Florida - 38 Candidates
- Wyoming - 16 Candidates
- Washington - 56 Candidates
- Missouri - 26 Candidates
- Kansas - 22 Candidates
Step 4: The final part of your Weekly Report will be tracking how many candidates in each NPAT Group you have researched over the past week. This is where you will list every state in each Group, and then list how many candidates you researched.
Example:
- Group G (Arizona, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Washington, Tennessee, Hawaii, Minnesota, Connecticut, Vermont, Wisconsin, Alaska, Florida, Wyoming) - 158 Candidates
- Group H (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Delaware)- 0 Candidates (this week)
