  • Preparation of theoretical aspects (description of tests, marking and correction instructions) before the class session
  • Use of the material prepared during the lesson and application in practical exercises carried out with the teacher.
2. Integrative exercises and practical work are offered regularly on e-campus .

3. Sessions of exercises corrected by peers are offered on e-campus and analysed during a class session.

written exam ( open-ended questions )


Further information:

Written exam with open questions

  • Short answer knowledge questions
  • Long answer questions on the analysis of a clinical case based on what has been learnt in the course and in the practical work.

In order to reward student attendance and commitment, one bonus point is awarded when all practical assignments have been completed and submitted to e-campus within the specified deadlines. A practical assignment is considered complete once an answer has been given to each question.

The mark obtained for each question takes into account:

- the quality of the answers
- the clarity of the answers
- the precision of the technical terms used

Remarks concerning spelling: Mastery of the French language is one of the basic skills required for professional practice in speech therapy. As such, if the exam paper contains more than 10 spelling mistakes (in usage and/or agreement), the student will have 2 points deducted from their final mark (/20).
