| Description of the modifications to the Q3 2019-2020 online assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
| The exam will take place over half a day during the session. The exam is carried out using an online assessment platform according to a schedule defined by the faculty. The exam is done in open books (syllabus, notes, slides, ...) and the questions are written in the form of multiple-choice questions. Each question in the questionnaire is independently rated. For each question: You are always asked to tick at least one of the choices (knowing that the choice "I do not give an answer to this question" is always a possibility of choice. This choice invalidates first of all any other choice); Apart from the choice "I do not give an answer to this question", it is sometimes possible to have 1 or more valid choices. In the case where it is proposed, the choice of the box "None of these answers is valid" invalidates the other choices (except that "I do not give an answer to this question" which always dominates all other choices); When it is present, the indication "choose only one answer" explicitly tells you that there is only one and only one check box to tick; Given the possibility of checking the box "I do not give an answer to this question", if none of the boxes is checked, this lack of selection of one (or more) choice will be considered unfavorable for the rating. The questions aim to assess the mastery of knowledge of the subject and the ability on the part of the student to provide a correct answer highlighting the assimilation of concepts, reasoning, logic, physical interpretation, common sense and physical behaviors presented. Serious preparation is therefore necessary, and the notes are there to draw certain relationships and concepts to support certain choices and / or guide these choices. The overall time is 45 minutes. A procedure for checking that questions and answers have been received will be provided. |
