CILOs to be addressed

Reflection paper (10%)

The 1,000 words paper requires student interns to reflect upon their major learning and personal gain at the early stage of the internship.  They may describe or evaluate a significant experience or achievement that has special meaning for them, describe how they have grown and developed over the period, or write about a teammate or work colleague who has had special influence on them and describe that influence.

Evaluation from internship on-site supervisor (30%)

Each intern is assigned an individual on-site supervisor who will coordinate the work, look-after the welfare, and monitor the performance of the student intern.  Evaluation by the supervisor will be given to the intern throughout the period accumulating in a formal report at the end.  These feedbacks are essential for the intern’s self-improvement and the final course assessment.
