Teaching methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

The course consists of a series of lectures and accompagning exercises and project(s). The teaching method can change depending on the circumstances and the number of participating students or for other reasons. Face-to-face classes as well as remote teaching or a mix of the two methods are possible.

Evaluation methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

Envisaged mode of evaluation:

• Project (40% of the final mark)
• Exam (60% of the final mark)

Depending on the circumstances and the number of participating students or other reasons, modifications to the evaluation plan can happen, for example replacing the written exam by an oral exam or a second project. In case of doubt, the teacher reserves the right to test some students in an additional oral exam that complements or replaces the grade obtained in the project(s) and/or the written exam.
