Evaluation methods

The traineeship's assessment takes into account:

the student's performance during the traineeship based on the mentor's report and the contacts between the academic supervisor and the mentor (70% of the global score);
the student's written report (30% of the global score). Instructions for the written report will be given to students before they leave for their traineeship.

The two parts of the traineeship must be evaluated, otherwise it will not be validated.
The traineeship may be held just once per academic year. The grade awarded shall be attached to each exam session of the academic year.

Other information

The work placement must be carried out in the academic year in which it is included in the student's annual programme.
Under no circumstances may it be carried out during the months of July and August preceding the academic year in which the student registers for the EAP.
