Evaluation methods
Each student's final rating is the average of two ratings. The first evaluation concerns a structural design work on a design problem assigned by the teacher at the beginning of the course. This work can be done in groups. The second evaluation concerns a written examination on the topics carried out in the classroom. On both assessments, the teacher sets a minimum threshold of 6/20 below which the student cannot have a positive final assessment.
Due to the current health crisis, the written exam could be conducted in the presence or online, or it could be replaced with an oral examination (online).
