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 students will have to submit a short written report on each seminar, allowing the validation of their understanding of the topics.
The presence during the seminars is taken into account in the final grade.
This report is individual, personal, and acts as an exam. It is forbidden to provide one's own report to another student, or to copy a part or a whole report of another student. Plagiarism on external sources is not tolerated. Any fraud will automatically lead to a grade of 0/20 and possibly additional sanctions.

Organizational remarks

We strongly advise the students to take some notes during the talks, as the report will also depict their understanding of those.
This pedagogical commitment only applies to the "Seminar" learning activity of the course.
