The evaluation methods comply with the regulations concerning studies and exams (https://uclouvain.be/fr/decouvrir/rgee.html). More detailed explanation of the modalities specific to each learning unit are available on their description sheets under the heading “Learning outcomes evaluation method”.
Testing acquired knowledge (formal assessment) takes place during exam sessions. Most exams are written.
Three exam sessions are organised during the academic year: in January (for CU organised in the first semester), in June (for CU organised in the second semester) and in September (retake exams).
Informal evaluations take place during the academic year in the form of practical exercises to be prepared and submitted. For some courses, a continuous grading system is implemented in addition to the exam.
