The exercise introduces the students to the use of a logbook in their project placement. The logbook should act as a reflection tool in their company project or project placement.
Keeping a logbook greatly raises students’ awareness of how to translate their theoretical knowledge into concrete practice. A logbook that is being used throughout the internship – from identification of internship host organisation to the exam – helps the students to describe in words how their personal and academic competences have increased during the internship. At the same time, it raises the students’ awareness of how they may bring their academic competences into play in a career context – now as well as in the future.
