Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
- Company Tutor Evaluation: 40%
- Student's report: 50%
- Seminar attendance: 10%
If a student fails the Internship course, they must repeat their internship at another company. If they fail the report, they will only need to redo the report.
The student must submit all required documents to be evaluated. If any document is missing, their internship will not be evaluated, and they will have to re-enroll. The documents to be submitted are:
- The student's internship report
- The agreement signed between the student and the company
- Ensure that the tutor's evaluation reaches the course instructors.
- If the student decides to leave the internship, they must inform both the university and the company 15 days in advance and submit a report explaining the reasons for their resignation. The internship coordinators will assess the reasons for leaving. If the reasons are not justified, the student will not be allowed to undertake another internship in the current academic year. In any case, their resignation from the internship will be recorded in their academic file.
- For curricular internships, the process is the same. The student must submit the report and ensure that both the agreement and the company tutor's evaluation are provided. If these are not submitted, or if the student abandons the internship, the internship will not appear on their academic transcript.
