Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
Theoretical courses are taught in face to face as interactive as possible. Additional information and formative tests are available to learners via eCampus Exams and platforms. Class attendance is highly recommended.

Lecture notes are available through the eCampus platform or site Orbi (http://orbi.ulg.ac.be/). Students are also invited to visit the facebook page of Theriogenology (https://www.facebook.com/Theriogenologie) or the site on bovine mastitis (http://www.mammitebovine.ulg.ac.be/) . The use of eCampus platform aims (1) to increase the interactivity between you and the teachers and supervisors. To this end, each training area is the subject of a discussion forum where you can ask questions. It also aims (2) to allow the learner to self-evaluate through formative tests.

It will also include questions with short open answers (QROC). The use of DC should enable us to evaluate your capacity for self-evaluation. You can train to DC via these formative tests on the platform Exams. We want to value the work of the student of the year up to 25% of certificatif examination held in January. The procedure for such valuation will be briefly presented during the first lesson. An explanatory document is available on eCampus in Master2 / Additional Resources). The terms of the second session of examination will be the same as those of the first session, the work of the year no longer being considered.
