Teaching methods

power point + notes taken by students

Evaluations

Written examen containing 3 different parts.

The final note is the average of the different parts.

When the mean is below threshold (10/20), the student needs to pass the exam again on the different parts of the UE.

In case of a severe failure (7 or lower) in one part of the exam, a 6/20 will be notfied. The student will be reevaluated on the part he/she failed. The other grades being kept.

Keeping partial grades is only possible for the current academic year. In the case of a second failure in the second session, the student will have to retake all parts of the examination the following academic year.

Recommended readings
