The student will inform the academic tutor of the tasks he is carrying out.
At the end of the internship, the student will hand in a report in which he lists and explains in detail the tasks carried out, the technological environment used - tools, standards and methodologies -, avoiding questions that could be considered confidential.
The professional tutor will send a confidential report to the subject coordinator and the academic tutor evaluating the student in different aspects.
In accordance with the Regulation of External Academic Practices of the students of the University of A Coruña (Approved by the Governing Council of April 23, 2013 and modified by the agreements of the Governing Council of 02/27/2015, 09/29/2015, 05/29 /2018, 04/06/2019 and 03/11/2022) the academic tutor will be in charge of "Evaluating, if necessary, and proposing the qualification of the curricular internship period" (Article 28, i)). and for that it will take "as a basis the follow-up of the student, the report of the person in charge of the tutoring in the collaborating institution, the follow-up reports issued and the final report drawn up by the student" (article 30). In this master's degree, the report of the professional tutor and the final report drawn up by the student will be decisive for the evaluation. |
