Students signing the 'interaction' part and/or the 'Master's Thesis' part will be given a final grade of 0/20 for the entire course.

The students who sign the hybrid course will be given 0/20 for that hybrid course

Organizational remarks

A student who leaves for one term/semester/year has to contact the English teachers before leaving.

A precise description of the course organization and contents as well as the evaluation criteria (Introductory Document + English Course Description) has been made available for the students on eCampus.

Students who have the MT on their curriculum will have to present their MT. 

Students who do NOT have the MT on their curriculum have to contact the English teachers before October 15th 2022. A presentation of the internship can, in that case, replace the presentation of the MT. In any case, to find an agreement that meets the expectations, it is essential to contact the teachers beforehand.
