The student should be in touch with as many aspects of a professional life as possible. The internship evolves in accordance with the internship plan, which has been previously debated and agreed by the mentor, the supervisor and the student.
During the period of the internship, the supervisor will visit the student at his/her trainee post. Together with the mentor, he/she will evaluate the student's progress.
The student writes a report of his/her activities. He/she will give further oral comment on the report.
Assessment
During the period of the internship, the student will have the following capabilities evaluated: independence, initiative, eagerness to learn, organising skills, assertiveness, scrupulous attitude, result-focused attitude, flexibility, accuracy, goodwill, loyalty, team spirit, empathy, decisiveness, perseverance, the ability to recognize and solve problems, responsibility, productive communicative skills, etc.
The evaluation of the internship is based on several elements:- the evidence of the newly acquired skills during the internship (among others through the interns's report)
- the conversations with the mentor at the traineepost (his/her experience enables us lectors to adapt our training to the real needs of the workplace).
- the paper and the oral defence of it.
First examination:
The supervisor and the mentor coordinate on the evaluation of the paper and the internship. The contents of the paper are given a great deal of attention. Important as well is the literature that was consulted by the student. Language, syle, presentation and personal style of the conclusions are all important parameters. The oral defence also plays an important role in the evaluation. The results obtained at the company and the results obtained for the paper are calculated together and deliver the final results of the topic 'internship'.
The evaluation is divided as follows:- internship 40%
- paper 30%
- presentation/defence of the paper 30%
Second examination period:
The results obtained during the internship remain the same.
The paper will be rewritten and orally defended.
