Grading Philosophy

- Continuous assessment: preparation and presentation of a poster (by
groups of 3-4 students) - 40% of overall mark
- Final assessment: written exam - 3h00, 60% of overall mark

The first session of the final exam takes place in December. In the
case of insufficient results, a second session is organized, either as
a written exam or an oral session, depending on the number of
students. This 2nd session takes place at the end of June.
