The final report about the working experience development and its results in the form of the seminar paper, where the student summarizes how his/her particular working experience contributed to his own personal development, assesses acquired skills and experience in relation to the theory and makes an overall appraisal of the special working experience. Daily notes about the working experience development are supposed to be a part of the „Special Working Experience confirmation“.
