  • Feedback provided by the internship supervisor.
  • The internship is an integral part of the LCEMS2915 Internship and Career Development.
  • Failure to meet the course requirements means meeting them in a later session.
  • The grade for the LCEMS2915 course can therefore only be validated if all course and internship requirements, as assessed, have been met.
By submitting an assignment for evaluation: 
  • you assert that it accurately reflects the facts and to do so you need to have verified the facts, especially if they originate from generative AI resources;
  • you assert that all your sources that go beyond common knowledge are suitably attributed. Common knowledge is what a knowledgeable reader can assess without requiring confirmation from a separate source;
  • you assert that you have respected all specific requirements of your assigned work, in particular requirements for transparency and documentation of process, or have explained yourself where this was not possible.
If any of these assertions are not true, whether by intent or negligence, you have violated your commitment to truth, and possibly other aspects of academic integrity. This constitutes academic misconduct.
