Abstract

51 percent of the students participated in an evaluation of the course. The clear majority rated the internship as "good" or "very good". As a suggestion for improvement, the desire for optional supplementary individual counseling and better formal preparation for the performance assessments were expressed several times. Two thirds of those surveyed consider the online teaching format to be useful even in post-pandemic times.
