Evaluations

Evaluation in the first session In the form of a puzzle, each piece represents a unit of learning achievement. The group receives it each time they have passed/acquired a unit. This principle allows students to repeat several times, to improve by integrating the teacher's remarks. The final grade for the group is the % of completion of the puzzle. At least two final productions are expected: a written report of maximum 15 pages and an activity to be determined, aiming at the dissemination of the work to a non-academic audience. The report is due on the first day of the examination session at the latest. Evaluation in the second session The group should improve the written report. The report is due on the first day of the examination session at the latest.
