If you were not present on a specific date during your Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) period, you can note your absence in the logbook. Here’s an example of what you might write:
Date: [Insert Date]
Activities / Comments:
"Absent – I was unable to attend due to [brief reason, e.g., personal matters, illness, family obligations, etc.]. I communicated my absence to [supervisor/mentor's name] and will catch up on any missed tasks upon my return."
Be sure to remain professional and keep the explanation concise. You want to show accountability while maintaining the necessary level of formality in your logbook.
