Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Theoretical explanations will systematically be followed by exercises.

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

A compulsory placement test is held in the first week of the year. Repeaters are not exempted from the placement test, which will enable us to:

• Select the students (with a mark of at least 10 out of 20) who will be exempted from the course and therefore from the January exam if so they wish. Their September grade will then be carried over and taken into account as their final grade.
  
• The other students will have to take the course.

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

If the sanitary situation deteriorates, classes will continue to be given on Collaborate or Lifesize and partly as exercises to be completed on eCampus.
The January written exam will take place online, on eCampus.
