Adaptations organisationnelles liées au contexte sanitaire

Code Orange
As best as possible, classes will resume normally. Those who wish to attend are more than welcome to do so. Those who do not feel comfortable attending class in such conditions will not be penalised. 
All files will be made available to all students though the usual platform. Any explanations given in class will either be transcribed or recorded for those who cannot attend.
 
Code Red
The main way forward in this scenario is through self-work though modules and texts made available to students via myuliege. Seminars or video conferences will be organised in order to maintain the current level. Additional activities will be put in place.
 
January Exam Session Update:
The written exam is cancelled. The presentation will be maintained and be done virtually, meaning that students will record themselves at home and send a link (or the file) for the exam date.

The exams will provide the other half of the marks
25% for a written exam. Students will be asked to write an abstract for an academic text

Should the sanitary conditions allow it, same mode of eximinations as in Code Yellow will be maintained.

Concerning the January examination, the written aspect will be dropped. Students will still require to present the data of a scientific text, but will do so by recording themselves, as for the in-class presentation.
