Written report:40%. Oral presentation: 40%. Evaluation by the local advisor/coordinator of the internship: 20%. An average value is calculated by consensus based on the evaluations of the membres of the internship committee, taking into account the different criteria. This value is the start of a discussion between the committee members who will fix the final score taking into account the different elements of the internship and the aforementioned average value. The final score is consequently not a simple average of all elements but a real consensus that will situate the student inside his promotion and which will correct for scores that were too high or too low for certains elements according to the committee members.
Students which obtain 9/20 will have to improve their report for the next examen session. Students which obtain 8/20 or less will have to effectuate a new internship.
