The Internship Report: A Practical Guide
Dear Colleagues,
This is the internship report roadmap for the current academic
year. 3rd level students are going to approach you for
supervision.
All you have to do the first semester is guide your students
towards the selection of an establishment and the writing of an
INTERNSHIP PROPOSAL following the attached guidelines.
Half an hour per week will be added to your 2nd semester
schedules for every student you supervise.
The average number of students you can offer to supervise is
around 8 (See the last Department Meeting Report).
Please be flexible with deadlines; students are finding it
extremely difficult to find a suitable and valid internship!
Have a nice supervision!

III- (By Dec 6th 2013): Internship Proposals are either
approved or rejected.
[Proposals are normally approved or rejected using the
following process:
The Internship Committee considers proposals.
Academic supervisor notifies students of the action of the
Internship Committee.
If proposals need revision, supervisors will contact students torequest amendments to proposals and proposals are
reconsidered.
If proposals are approved, the registrar's office is notified and
students may register for internship credit. (Students must
have an approved internship proposal before they can register
for internship credit.)]
Yet it could be left to supervisors to decide on the
validity of proposals.
IV- (By Dec 13th 2013): New or amended proposals are
resubmitted.
V- (Dec 20th 2013): Final list of students and their academic

PLAGIARISM
MANY PEOPLE THINK OF PLAGIARISM AS COPYING ANOTHER'S WORK, OR
BORROWING SOMEONE ELSE'S ORIGINAL IDEAS. BUT TERMS LIKE "COPYING"
AND "BORROWING" CAN DISGUISE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE OFFENSE:
ACCORDING TO THE MERRIAM-WEBSTER ONLINE DICTIONARY, TO
"PLAGIARIZE" MEANS
TO STEAL AND PASS OFF (THE IDEAS OR WORDS OF ANOTHER) AS ONE'S
OWN
TO USE (ANOTHER'S PRODUCTION) WITHOUT CREDITING THE SOURCE
TO COMMIT LITERARY THEFT
TO PRESENT AS NEW AND ORIGINAL AN IDEA OR PRODUCT DERIVEDFROM AN EXISTING SOURCE.
IN OTHER WORDS, PLAGIARISM IS AN ACT OF FRAUD. IT INVOLVES BOTH
STEALING SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK AND LYING ABOUT IT AFTERWARD.
BUT CAN WORDS AND IDEAS REALLY BE STOLEN?
ACCORDING TO U.S. LAW, THE ANSWER IS YES. THE EXPRESSION OF ORIGINAL
IDEAS IS CONSIDERED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND IS PROTECTED BY
COPYRIGHT LAWS, JUST LIKE ORIGINAL INVENTIONS. ALMOST ALL FORMS OF
EXPRESSION FALL UNDER COPYRIGHT PROTECTION AS LONG AS THEY ARE
RECORDED IN SOME WAY (SUCH AS A BOOK OR A COMPUTER FILE).
ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM:
TURNING IN SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK AS YOUR OWN
COPYING WORDS OR IDEAS FROM SOMEONE ELSE WITHOUT GIVING
CREDIT
FAILING TO PUT A QUOTATION IN QUOTATION MARKS
GIVING INCORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SOURCE OF A
QUOTATION
CHANGING WORDS BUT COPYING THE SENTENCE STRUCTURE OF A
SOURCE WITHOUT GIVING CREDIT
COPYING SO MANY WORDS OR IDEAS FROM A SOURCE THAT IT MAKES UP
THE MAJORITY OF YOUR WORK, WHETHER YOU GIVE CREDIT OR NOT (SEE OUR
SECTION ON "FAIR USE" RULES)
MOST CASES OF PLAGIARISM CAN BE AVOIDED, HOWEVER, BY CITING SOURCES.
SIMPLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT CERTAIN MATERIAL HAS BEEN BORROWED,
8/14/2019 Internship Report -A Practical Guide 2013-14.doc
19/24
19
mfe-iseah-kef.blogspot.com
AND PROVIDING YOUR AUDIENCE WITH THE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO
FIND THAT SOURCE, IS USUALLY ENOUGH TO PREVENT PLAGIARISM.
===
TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
ANYONE WHO HAS WRITTEN OR GRADED A PAPER KNOWS THAT PLAGIARISM
IS NOT ALWAYS A BLACK AND WHITE ISSUE. THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN
PLAGIARISM AND RESEARCH IS OFTEN UNCLEAR. LEARNING TO RECOGNIZE
THE VARIOUS FORMS OF PLAGIARISM, ESPECIALLY THE MORE AMBIGUOUS
ONES, IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARDS EFFECTIVE PREVENTION.
SOURCES NOT CITED1. "THE GHOST WRITER"
THE WRITER TURNS IN ANOTHER'S WORK, WORD-FOR-WORD, AS HIS OR HER
OWN.
2. "THE PHOTOCOPY"
THE WRITER COPIES SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF TEXT STRAIGHT FROM A
SINGLE SOURCE, WITHOUT ALTERATION.
3. "THE POTLUCK PAPER"
THE WRITER TRIES TO DISGUISE PLAGIARISM BY COPYING FROM SEVERAL
DIFFERENT SOURCES, TWEAKING THE SENTENCES TO MAKE THEM FIT
TOGETHER WHILE RETAINING MOST OF THE ORIGINAL PHRASING.
4. "THE POOR DISGUISE"
ALTHOUGH THE WRITER HAS RETAINED THE ESSENTIAL CONTENT OF THE
SOURCE, HE OR SHE HAS ALTERED THE PAPER'S APPEARANCE SLIGHTLY BY
CHANGING KEY WORDS AND PHRASES.
5. "THE LABOR OF LAZINESS"
THE WRITER TAKES THE TIME TO PARAPHRASE MOST OF THE PAPER FROM
OTHER SOURCES AND MAKE IT ALL FIT TOGETHER, INSTEAD OF SPENDING THE
SAME EFFORT ON ORIGINAL WORK.
6. "THE SELF-STEALER"
THE WRITER "BORROWS" GENEROUSLY FROM HIS OR HER PREVIOUS WORK,
VIOLATING POLICIES CONCERNING THE EXPECTATION OF ORIGINALITY
ADOPTED BY MOST ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS.
SOURCES CITED (BUT STILL PLAGIARIZED)
8/14/2019 Internship Report -A Practical Guide 2013-14.doc
20/24
20
mfe-iseah-kef.blogspot.com
1. "THE FORGOTTEN FOOTNOTE"
THE WRITER MENTIONS AN AUTHOR'S NAME FOR A SOURCE, BUT NEGLECTS TO
INCLUDE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON THE LOCATION OF THE MATERIAL
REFERENCED. THIS OFTEN MASKS OTHER FORMS OF PLAGIARISM BY
OBSCURING SOURCE LOCATIONS.
2. "THE MISINFORMER"
THE WRITER PROVIDES INACCURATE INFORMATION REGARDING THE
SOURCES, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THEM.
3. "THE TOO-PERFECT PARAPHRASE"
THE WRITER PROPERLY CITES A SOURCE, BUT NEGLECTS TO PUT IN
QUOTATION MARKS TEXT THAT HAS BEEN COPIED WORD-FOR-WORD, OR
CLOSE TO IT. ALTHOUGH ATTRIBUTING THE BASIC IDEAS TO THE SOURCE, THEWRITER IS FALSELY CLAIMING ORIGINAL PRESENTATION AND
INTERPRETATION OF THE INFORMATION.
4. "THE RESOURCEFUL CITER"
THE WRITER PROPERLY CITES ALL SOURCES, PARAPHRASING AND USING
QUOTATIONS APPROPRIATELY. THE CATCH? THE PAPER CONTAINS ALMOST NO
ORIGINAL WORK! IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO SPOT THIS FORM OF
PLAGIARISM BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER WELL-RESEARCHED
DOCUMENT.
5. "THE PERFECT CRIME"
WELL, WE ALL KNOW IT DOESN'T EXIST. IN THIS CASE, THE WRITER PROPERLY
QUOTES AND CITES SOURCES IN SOME PLACES, BUT GOES ON TO PARAPHRASE
OTHER ARGUMENTS FROM THOSE SOURCES WITHOUT CITATION. THIS WAY,
THE WRITER TRIES TO PASS OFF THE PARAPHRASED MATERIAL AS HIS OR HER
OWN ANALYSIS OF THE CITED MATERIAL.

Internship Daily Journal
a. Throughout the duration of the internship students are required to
maintain a daily journal.
b. There should be an entry of tasks, observations, challenges and
experiences for each working day.
c. The journal is meant to be more than a log of the tasks performed.
d. The objective of the journal is to insure that students are thinking

how the internship relates to their classes and personal career goals.
e. It is recommended for all students to take a few minutes at the end of
the working day to reflect on their daily challenges and achievements.
f. The daily journal is intended to provide the academic supervisor with a
good understanding of what the day-to-day routine was like during the
internship, and the students reactions to what he/she did.
g. Though, it can be hand-written during the Internship, it will have to be
typed for submission as part of the Internship Report (the Appendices).
h. The journal is a measure of the professional responsibility which the
student has assumed and therefore will be a major consideration in
determining the students final grade.
