Teaching Methodologies

According to the Training Placement Regulation of Escola Superior Agrária de Coimbra (http://www.esac.pt/alunos/Regulamentos/regulamento_estagio_final_1o_ciclo_2016_12_14.pdf) each student is given an internal supervisor according to the specificity of the work to be developed. The training placement plan is elaborated by the external supervisor, by the internal supervisor and by the student. The work developed during the training placement is assessed by the external supervisor. The training placement report, its presentation and discussion are assessed by a jury composed of 3 ESAC professors.

The final grade of the training placement is given by the weighted average of the following assessment items :Work developed during the training placement: 35%; Written report: 30%; Presentation and discussion: 35%.

Learning Results

The internships take place in companies, institutions and entities with whom ESAC establishes collaboration protocols, thus constituting a first contact with the world of work. The purpose of the internship is to apply the knowledge acquired in the remaining courses of the degree to specific situations, looking for solutions independently. It is also intended that students develop their work skills, either as a team or independently, the ability to communicate and the ability to synthesize information.

Program

This curricular unit has no syllabus, since what is intended is the application of the syllabus of the remaining courses of the degree. In accordance with ESAC regulations, students are accompanied during the internship by an external advisor (member of the host institution) and an internal advisor (an ESAC professor) who will provide, if necessary, knowledge on matters not yet addressed regarding to the specific work that the student will develop
