Things to Consider While Filling Out Internship Book:

  • The information needed to be found in your internship notebook will be determined according to your internship program.
  • In general, you can mention the job descriptions, processes, operations, mechanisms, based upon your observations (even if you didn’t do it personally).
  • In order to be counting of internship days, you have to reflect on the new things you have learned about work in the workplace by doing or observing during that day.
  • You can write the internship notebook by handwriting or on a computer.
  • The internship notebook must be written in English. However, some terms can be expressed in Turkish with explanations in the case of hard to find the corresponding meaning in English. Where necessary, the output from the computer can be pasted.
  • The internship notebook must be submitted in the last week of September. Late submissions will not be accepted.
  • The intern evaluation report (to be filled in by the company) is accepted by fax. However, there is a risk while delivering by fax. Preferably, it is more convenient to be delivered in a closed envelope, together with the notebook by hand.
