Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session

Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning

Lectures are recorded on video and are available as PODCAST. The presentation slides are also available. The entire teaching staff remains available to answer questions by email.

Assessment subjects

The assesment topics will consist of that presented in lectures and in podcasts.

Assessment methods

The exam will consist of open questions of understanding of the theory and exercises of structural analysis. The exercises will consist in solving structures from spectra of the UlgSpectra database.
The assessment will be made by a written test carried out remotely ("online"). Students will receive the exam questionnaire by email (or e-Campus) according to the schedule defined in CELCAT. On the day of the exam, students will confirm by return e-mail to c.damblon@uliege.be that the exam questionnaire has been received. They will then have 2 hours to answer the exam questionnaire. Two options are possible; either the student responds on a blank sheet of paper in a handwritten manner, or he uses a word processor. Before the time runs out, students must send their response by e-mail (or by e-campus) to the teacher (c.damblon@uliege.be) either as a word file or as a photo file of the JPEG, TIFF or PDF type (photo of the exam copy taken with a mobile phone for example) of their handwritten response. The name of the course and the student number must imperatively be mentioned in the subject of the email. The teacher will confirm by return e-mail that the exam copy has been received.
A computer and a stable internet connection will be required to perform the exam in good conditions.
For students who have had problems sending answers by email, an oral exam will be organized by videoconference.

The assessment topics will consist of that presented in lectures and in podcasts.

Assessment methods

The theoretical part will be sent first and the students will have 30 min to answer it. Students will then have 15 minutes to send their response by email to c.damblon@uliege.be and Sophie.Rappe@uliege.be.
The exercise questionnaire will be made available 45 minutes after the theory. Students will then have 90 minutes to do the exercise and 15 minutes to email their response to c.damblon@uliege.be and Sophie.Rappe@uliege.be.
 
For the answers: two options are possible; either the student answers on a blank sheet of paper in a handwritten manner, or he uses a word processor. The student ID number must be written on each sheet which must be numbered (x / total number of pages). Before the time runs out, students must send their response by e-mail either as a Word file or as a photo file of the JPEG, TIFF or PDF type (photo of the exam copy taken with a mobile phone or a scanner, for example) of their handwritten response. The ID of the course and the student ID number must be mentioned in the subject line of the email. In order for teachers to confirm that the exam copy has been received, the student must request an acknowledgment when it is sent.
A computer and a stable internet connection will be required to perform the exam in good conditions.
For students who have had problems sending answers by email, an oral exam will be organized by videoconference.
