Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
This course is based on ex cathedra courses. During some courses Wooclap sessions will be organized on the subject of the previous course (s). These Wooclap sessions are intended to enable the student to verify the acquisition of his knowledge and to prepare him for the questions of the QCM exam.
The course slides are available on the online course via e-campus.
On the e-campus e-course, the student will also find exercises sessions, videos illustrating certain parts of the course, seminars to be conducted online (MANDATORY), a glossary containing the definition of terms discussed in the course.

Assessment methods and criteria
The evaluation consists of a written part (in the form of multiple-choice QCMs) and an oral part, which give rise to two separate sub-notes. Students who do not receive a sub-note equal or higher than 10/20 at the writing part are not eligible to present the oral part and receive a sub-note of zero. The final note is the arithmetic average of the two sub-notes.
! The realization of all online seminars (available on ecampus) is mandatory and only students who have completed all seminars are admitted to the QCM examination
The students presenting the examination in the second session represent both parts of the examination on the same principle as stated above. There is no partial exemption between January and September
A copy consultation session is organized in amphitheater. The SMART form is available to students. The session then consists in the oral correction of the least QCM successful questions or will be based on the students' personal request based on their feedback.
