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

Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning

The course sessions have been adapted to be conducted online. Students receive the resources to discover the new topics (a few days) before the regular session (an announcement on eCampus is automatically sent by email). A forum is set up for them to ask their question. A live Q&A session will take place during the last class session. 
Students can consult the resources (commented slideshow, online exercises, documents, etc.) whenever they wish, but preferably before the next session (in order to avoid overwork).
The session on evaluation (April 22) has been cancelled. 

Assessment subjects

The subject matter of the evaluation remains the same (except for the part of the evaluation that has not been seen in class). 

Assessment methods

The oral exam will take place online via a virtual class (student alone or in duo + teacher). Students must register, as planned, via an online form that will be sent to them by the end of April. Students should log on to their assigned virtual room 10 minutes before the time of their oral defence. Students should submit their presentation material online on eCampus 2 working days before their presentation date.
