Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The course revolves around the presentation of the different energy vectors (renewable and non-renewable) used (commonly and less commonly) for the energy supply of our country: oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydrogen, biomass and renewable energies.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

By the end of this course, the student will have a global vision of the issues related to the energy supply of our country, and the energy vectors used today to achieve it. He will have the capacity to form an informed opinion on the current situation, and to analyze the energy market in full knowledge of the facts.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lectures, and practical group work (analysis of the energy market in a country or region of their choice).

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

Face-to-face or remote, depending on the circumstances.

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

None

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.

The overall assessment focuses on the completion of a practical work (in groups, 1/3 of the points) and on the success of an oral exam (2/3 of the points) covering both the practical work and the concepts theory developed during the course.
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).
