Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Teaching is organized in:- 13 lectures;
- 7 supervised exercise sessions;
- 2 practical lab sessions;
- 3 virtual lab sessions.
Virtual lab sessions are carried out autonomously online (via iCampus), but consultancy session are nevertheless organized.
The Moodle platform also includes a series of multiple-choice questions allowing the students to evaluate and deepen their understanding of key concepts for the course. It also includes a series of illustrations for better appropriating these concepts.
Depending on the health situation, the teaching activities can be organized in face-to-face, remotly, using videoconference, or a mix of both.
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Students will be evaluated:- Collectively based on the reports of the 2 practical labs performed in groups of 4 to 5 students during the semester;
- Individually based on a written exam for the exercise part of the course and an oral exam for the theoretical part.
For the written exam, no documents are allowed except a form of two A4 pages written by the student and containing only formulas, diagrams or graphs.
Depending on the health situation, these exams can be organized remotely. In this particular case, if a problem is noted in a copy of the written part of the exam (suspicion of fraud or technical problem) or when it is submitted (when downloading or equivalent), an oral exam, independent from the one related to the theoretical part, may be organized in addition and/or in replacement of the written assessment.
