Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is organized around:

  • 1 face-to-face sessions (2h) in large auditorium
  • 4 theoritical e-learning sessions
  • 6 practical e-learning sessions + homeworks
  • one group work

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

Blended learning (face-to-face and virtual)

Recommended or required readings

Syllabus and also the available informations on e-campus related to the course.

Assessment methods and criteria

The writting assessments are:

  • On-going evaluations: assessments (15 minutes after each practical sessions) + one group work (20% of final score)
  • Assessment: realisation of a complete FORTRAN code (80% of final score)
If the final score is lower than 10/20, the student will be invited to re-pass its assessment. For this score, the score obtained for the on-going evaluations will be conserved.
If the score obtained for the assessment is higher than the one obtained by combining on-going evaluations and assessment, the score obtained for the assessment will be the final score.

Organizational remarks

The student will check the hyperplanning and the sent e-mails to be informed about the scheduled, working places and the different proposed learning activities.
