Assessment comments |
The final grade will be based on the performance of the student during his/her internship and on the quality of the submitted report. It is highly recommended that all students consult the rubric of assessment on the web of Facultade de Ciencias. Those students who do not complete the number of hours requiered at the company/institution or who do no submit the final report on time will have a maximum mark of 4,5 (out of 10). When the total period of time in the company/institution are not fullfilled, the final mark will be proportional to the number of worked hours, and always less than 4,5 (out of 10). Under exceptional circumstances, the student can ask for a waiver to pass the subject without having finished the period of the internship; this application have to be done to the dean of the faculty.

Other comments |
Internships should be undertaken in the summer between the third and the fourth years of the degree, once the semester is finished. Students who do this will have more time during the second semester of their third year, which is usually stressful. |
