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

Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning

The teaching modules have been adapted to enable self-study. Some activities have been made optional, others have been cancelled.
(Optional) written homework.
Weekly online Q&A sessions.

Assessment subjects

The vocabulary, content and grammar (APA rules) from modules 1 to 10.

Assessment methods

Online written exam on eCampus (case studies linked to the topics dealt with in the modules). Correct use of the vocabulary, content and grammar from the various modules is highly recommended.
Continuous assessment: the Socrative tests done in class and at home will count for your final mark. However, given that some group works could not be handed in, the overall mark of the continuous assessment part will be less important than announced at the beginning of the academic year.
The marks will therefore be distributed as follows:

  • Oral exam (January): 5/20
  • Listening comprehension (January): 3/20
  • Continuous assessment 3/20
  • Written exam (May): 9/20
Students who did not take / failed the oral exam and/or the listening comprehension in January will automatically have 0/20 in May/June.
Students who fail the exam in May/June will have to retake, in August: - the written exam,
- the oral exam* (if they failed it in January),
- the listening comprehension (if they failed it in January).
The mark of the continuous assessment will be kept.
