Evaluation methods
The final exam is written in the form of a "multiple-choice questionnaire" (MCQ) and/or "short open-ended questions" (SOQ). It is organized simultaneously for all students of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Practicals will be evaluated during this final exam; the questions asked will assume that the matter has been well seen and understood.
The two homeworks will count for 10% of the final grade.
The pass grade for the course is 10.00/20 and grades below 10.00/20 will not be rounded up.
