Grading is based on the Student Evaluation by company supervisor (SE), Format and Style of the Report (FSR), the Summer Training Report (STR), and the oral presentation (OP).
- Student Evaluation by Company Supervisor:
Students who receive at least a score of 3 from each of Questions 1.a, 1.b, and 1.c of Student Evaluation (SE) by Company Supervisor complete their summer training successfully. Students who fail to do so are considered as “Unsuccessful by SE” and receive a letter grade of F at the end of the semester. Such students are not required to submit a report or make oral presentations.
Students who are “Successful by SE” are eligible to submit their summer training report and make an oral presentation of their summer training experience.
- Format and Style:
STR of each student will also be evaluated based on its format and style. A student who fails to receive at least 3 points from the format are considered as “Unsuccessful by Format and Style of the Report (FSR)” and receives a letter grade of F regardless of the grade that s/he receives from STR and OP.

Grading of Oral Presentation (OP) is based on attendance to OP sessions (students are required to attend all presentations), time management, the effectiveness and clarity of the OP.
