    4. já ter cursado Estágio Supervisionado de Capacitação Docente em Química 1;
    5. rendimento acumulado médio em disciplinas de pós-graduação (calculado conforme previsto no artigo 28 do Regimento Interno do PPG-Q).

    Activities plan: Once the undergraduate discipline in which the student will be an intern is defined, he/she must prepare, together with the professor responsible for it, the intern's Activities Plan, and the deadline for submission will be defined in the PPGQ/UFSCar academic calendar.

    A copy of this plan must be handed over to the person responsible for the Supervised Internship of Teacher Training in Chemistry 1 or 2, for follow-up.

    Activities Report: At the end of the internship, the student must submit to the professor responsible for the discipline Supervised Internship for Teaching Training in Chemistry 1 or 2 the respective activity report, while following standards, which must be forwarded to the PPGQ, with the opinion of the professor responsible for the discipline institution where the internship was carried out. It is up to the professor responsible for the discipline Supervised Internship of Teacher Training in Chemistry 1 or 2, after evaluating the final report, to assign the final grade to the student in the discipline.
