Type of Assessment for UE in Q1
Q1 UE Assessment Comments
Laboratory work and industrial visits, 10 % of the mark. grading takes in account the presentation of reports as well as the exactitude of explanations.Graded exercise, 25 % of the mark, maximum duration : 120 min (various levels of difficulties : exercises solved during the course but new, and questions needing a more thorough reflection). Oral examination, 65 % of the mark, maximum duration : 60 min (same questions for all students).
Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
Q3 UE Assessment Comments
Laboratory work and industrial visits, 10 % of the mark (carryover of the note).Graded exercise, 25 % of the mark, maximum duration : 60 min, during oral examination (various levels of difficulties : exercises solved during the course but new, and questions needing a more thorough reflection).Oral examination, 65 % of the mark, maximum duration : 60 min (same questions for all students).
