Evaluation methods
Evaluation steps :
a) continued assessment (5 intermediate works over the two semesters) ;
b) final written research essay and its oral public presentation in May ;
c) two written exams : one at the end of each term, on the practical work sessions and the courses delivered.
Each of those represents :
a) 30%
b) 35% (10% and 25% respectively for the oral presentation and the final written essay)
c) 35% (20%, intermediate examination in January and 15%, final exam in June).
The student who has not presented its final essay, either oral or written, may be refused at the final exam.
In case of failure at the intermediate exam in January (15%), the student presents a full exam (35 %) in June. Third session in August : full exams only.
If the global grade of the final essay is lower than 50%, a new written version must be submitted in August (35%). If the global grade of the continued assessment is lower than 50%, a single alternative work will be required in August (30%). If the student failed in both the continued assessment and the final essay, the alternative work will represent up to 65% of the grade.
