Teaching methods

During their internship, IB students will have to make different assignments on the dedicated Moodle area titled “International internship with coaching”.

Evaluation methods

The course “LSMD2916” will lead to a grade (10 ECTS) if the following conditions are met:

• there is a valid “LSM internship agreement” that has been signed by all in due time;
• the internship conditions (eg. duration, location) are respected;
• the corporate supervisor has filled in the internship evaluation grid, which is uploaded on Moodle.

If the internship has not been validated (one of the above conditions is not met), the student obtains a grade of zero out of 20.
If the internship has been validated, then the final grade is composed of:

• Continuous learning (14 points): When all assignments on Moodle have been correctly performed and posted or encoded in time, the student obtains 14 points. When one of the assignments has not been correctly performed, correctly posted or encoded in time, there is a penalty of 2 points. The total of the penalties cannot exceed 14 points.

• Individual reflection paper (6 points): The teacher assigns a score on 6 points, based on the following evaluation criteria: (1) clarity, and (2) convincing argumentation.
