Freshman Summer Analyst During COVID-19

I was very fortunate to have gotten an IB internship because of a connection at the bank instead of PWM/Accounting. Because of extremely low deal flow and most firms being shut down, instead of working on a live transaction we were given training sessions and looked at the effect of a recent acquisition on the company's financials and the synergies and the metrics that were looked at during the acquisition. I was wondering if this experience would be as valuable as directly working on a live transaction and if I should spin it to sound like I did some valuation and modeling work.
