None.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Evaluation of some performance criteria for a described building.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

3 h theoretical courses.

A practical exercise - alternating with the theoretical course - is realised by each student in parallel.

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

If the University adopts a "code orange", the courses will be given according to the institutional prescriptions. In the event of a "red code", the courses will be exclusively given (live) by LifeSize or Blackboard Collaborate, recorded, and deposited as podcasts on the MyULiège and e-campus platforms.

Recommended or required readings

Slides of the theoretical course.

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Any session :

- In-person

oral exam

- Remote

oral exam AND written work

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred remote


Additional information:

Oral.
The exercises realised by the student are also evaluated and taken into account in the final marking.
In the case of distance learning under a red code for at least half of the periods scheduled in the schedule, the final score will be established by giving increased importance to practical work (rising to 50% of the overall score), vis-à-vis the exam (rising to 50% of the overall rating). The oral exam will then include a question on the practical work, followed by a question on the theoretical material (a second question may be asked to the student in the event of inadequacy in the first question).
