Evaluation methods
Final exam in session (weight = 60% if the score is ≥ 7/20, otherwise 100%) (= absorbing principle of heavy failure). In case of failure, a second session is possible for this part.
Team work (weight = 40%, except heavy absorbing failure). Half of this grade will focus on ongoing work during the year, the other half will focus on the final team presentation, organized at the end of the semester. A second session is not possible for this part. The grade acquired at the end of the semester is therefore definitive until the second semester.
