| Course contents : | Paragraph #64 of the "décret Bologne" of the French Community of Belgium reads: "All University study programmes leading to a graduate degree must comprise a Final Year Work (FYW) accounting for 15 to 29 credits. This FYW concerns any teaching activity, including stages and other professionnal-learning activites, to emphasize the following qualities of the students: autonomy, criticism, personnal qualities and professionnal competences. The FYW comprise at least a written manuscript".
All information regarding the organization and the realisation of the FYW the presentation and the explanation of the evaluation criteria, the recommandations to the authors for the manuscript of the 2nd and 3rd GMV, for the students and the tutors, are present on the website of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine under the title "TFE" (file "Guide du TFE 2009").
Different tables and forms should be uploaded from the same site. |
|
| Course objective : | The Final Year Work (FYW) must allow the tutors and the students to appreciate the level of metacognition of the latter (= to know how on learns and what one knows; to learn to know oneself during the learning process). The purpose of the FYW is therefore far beyond a simple restitution procedure of professionnal competences. |
|
| Organization : | The FYW is spread over two years: 2nd and 3rd GMV. During the 2nd GMV the FYW is a sound and critical review of the literature that will serve as a basis to introduce and to discuss the work performed during the 3rdGMV. The literature review concerns a problem or a question dealing with veterinary medicine in a very broad meaning, in its clinical, para-clinical and/or other aspects (medicine, surgery, obstetrics, diagnostic laboratories, research, animal production, hygiene, ethology, food chain, environment, public health, teaching, society, behaviour, anatomy, histology, physiology, genetics, zootherapy, ...).
The topic of the FYW will be communicated to Dr Jean-Michel Vandeweerd, at the end of the first week dedicated to its realisation, by sending him the "PROJET" form that should be downloaded from the web site of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
The tutor will receive one exemplar of the manuscript on May 3rd, 2010 (at the latest). Another exemplar in pdf format will be sent to Dr Jean-Michel Vandeweerd. The recommandations to the authors are described in the "GUIDE du TFE 2010" on the website of the Veterinary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Cover pages can be downloaded from the same web site. |
|
| Assessment : | The FYW being spread over two years (2nd and 3rd GMV), the evaluation procedure must be continuous and coherent. The evaluation procedure must first be formative (i.e. it must guide the student to the level of excellence) and, then, certificative (with a note), to attest of the quality of the work. The three evaluation forms should be downloaded from the web site of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine). |
