Assessment methods and criteria

Oral examination: testing knowledge, comprehension and integration of different parts of the curse. The evaluation may include a personal project performed by the student. The subject will be proposed by the student or chosen among a list of suggestions. This project will aim at integrating in a transversal way the lessons learned in several lectures of the "Physiologie-Developmental Biology" and contribute to a common evaluation. The notes obtained for the presentation of this project will represent one third of the total figure.
