Evaluation methods
Attendance at practical sessions is required. In accordance with article 72 of the General Regulations for Studies and Examinations, the Professors may propose to the jury that a student who has at least two unjustified absences for the practical sessions, be refused registration for the January, June or September session.
In the middle of the course, students are required to complete a short intermediate written homework (in French) which is not graded but is then discussed with them in order to assess their expected level of competency in the subject. Only students who have submitted this work will be admitted to the written examination on the content of the tutorial.
The whole evaluation aims to measure the acquisition of the learning outcomes specified above.
For this course, students are assessed on the basis of two tests:
For the second session, the written exam for the lecture course will be the same as in the first session, but the TDs assessement may be adapted (a written essay instead of a take-home) depending on the number of students.
The use of AI in personal essays must be justified and mentioned, otherwise the assesment will be annulled for cheating.
