Assessment methods and criteria :
 |
| Optics:
A written exam takes place at the end of the 1st period.
A second session of exam (written) is organized in Aug/Sept.
Lab reports are quoted. The quotation is taken into account at a level of 25% of the global total.
Electromagnetism exam :
A written test covering exercices (35%) and theoretical concepts/global comprehension (65%) is organized in June and August.
According to the "paysage" decree, the certification is validated from a notation = 10/20. |
