This written report will be graded according to: - the quality and accuracy of documentary research - the ability of interpretating and summarizing - proficiency in written French Academic and examination regulations - Art. 37 §2: "Teaching staff may declare students inadmissible for exams when they have not participated in the activities which have been stated to be inseparable from the teaching activity in question. The same is true for students who have not submitted, within the set delays or in the prescribed formats, reports, personal work or any work set in the context of the activity in question". Students who would not have, at the beginning of the second (August) session, delivered the complete list of required works and papers will not be admitted to that session. The evaluation for the second session will consist in the verification of the improvements made in the final paper not judged sufficient in June.
