Evaluations

The Teaching Unit is divided into two learning activities:

  1.   Memory with internship:
    • value of the learning activity score on the whole EU score: 2/3
      • the note is based on three elements:
      • on the written work (dissertation), including the respect of the writing instructions recorded in the roadmap given to the students at the beginning of the academic year.
      • on public defense.
    •  The completion of the internship is a condition sine qua non for the filing of the memorial and its defense. In other words, not doing the internship will result in a score of 0 for the learning activity.
    •  Once the internship has been completed, the student is exempted from one session to the next session of the same academic year and from one academic year to the next one even if the grade is lower than 10 for the learning activity .
  2.     Namur Legal Lab:
    •  value of the learning activity score on the overall EU score: 1/3
    •  the evaluation bears:
      • the quality of the opinion given to the start-up;
      •  the quality of services provided during meetings with the start-up;
      •  the dynamism and the respect of the deadlines in the follow-up of the project


If the student scores 10 or more for a learning activity but less than 10 for the EU:

  • he/she cannot represent the assessment of the successful learning activity, from one session to the next, and within the same academic year.
  • he/she is automatically dispensed, from one academic year to another, the successful learning activity.
