Content

Evaluation methods

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

2 out of 20 points: attendance at class. If the student accumulates more than two absences, an individual written work is requested to obtain the 2 points.
18 points out of 20: Written examination in session and written group work, supervised by an assistant.
The different parts (presence, written exam, group work) are obligatory.
Second session: written examination in session. The rating of the group work is retained if it is equal to or greater than half; otherwise, the student will have to submit an individual written work to be fixed with the assistant. The attendance score is retained if it is equal or more than 1 points; otherwise, individual work will be requested.
