Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
All theoretical lessons were given before confinement, so at this level there is nothing to report.
Regarding the practical exercices, they were designed to be carried out independently and in groups. Students are therefore invited to use digital tools for communication.
Assessment subjects
No changes.
Theoretical lessons were given before confinement.
The practical work can be completed independently.
Assessment methods
Oral exam using a digital platform. The student will not have to go to the university but is asked to be in a place with a suitable connection.
The student will be questioned by the professor in the same way as initially planned (2 course slides + practical work reports; max. 30 minutes)
Main change: open book exam instead of closed book exam.
