Teaching methods
Compulsory workshops in the computer lab.
Evaluation methods
During the term: formative assessment.
January and August/September sessions: written examination.
Students are required to take one written examination per translation workshop (i.e. economic, legal, and scientific/technical translation) in connection with the topics dealt with during the term.
The final grade will consist of three integrated parts of equal importance. A pass (i.e. 10/20 or more) in at least two of the three parts is required to demonstrate the skills and knowledge laid out in the learning outcomes of the course. A failing grade (i.e. less than 10/20) in two parts of the course will result in a failing grade for the whole course. If the final mark is less than 10/20, the failed parts will have to be taken again during the August/September exam session. In case of an unjustified absence, students will have to take all three translation workshops during the August/September exam session. Students who have failed the course when the academic year ends will have to take all three translation workshops (economic, legal, scientific/technical) the following year.
The use of machine translation is strictly forbidden.
Legal translation
January session (legal translation):
2. The student has duly submitted or presented in the lecture all the required homework assignements by the deadline. The homework should be the student's personal work (unless otherwise specified).
If either of these two criteria is not met, 100% of the final mark will be allocated to the certificative assessment that will take place during the exam session (written examination).
Any absence justified by a medical certificate will be taken into account and will not prejudice the student.
August/September session (legal translation): 100% of the final mark will be awarded to a certificative assessment resit during the exam session (written examination).
