Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Here are the modalities that will be applied in case of restrictions related to the health crisis:
- If the theoretical courses are not authorised in the classroom, they will be virtual via the Collaborate platform.
- If face-to-face examinations are not authorised, students will be assessed remotely via the Collaborate platform

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

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred remote
