Internship Report Guidelines

You must complete your report and submit it by Nov 27th, 2024. Late submissions
will not be accepted. The report will consist of at least 5000 words (20 typewritten
pages) typed, double spaced on standard paper, one side only.

WRITING THE REPORT

Any report must be planned, keeping in mind its purpose and the people to whom it is
directed. Plan ahead and keep notes, preferably on a daily basis. In some cases,
internship employers may be uneasy about having what they consider to be “confidential
information” appear in a student’s work report. To ensure that no confidential information
is contained in your report, you must have your supervisor read and validate the
Internship Report Outline. If the employer feels certain information is confidential, you
should make modifications to meet with these concerns.
Write in clear, concise English, paying careful attention to grammar, sentence structure,
and spelling.
