    Description of the modifications to the Q3 2019-2020 online assessment procedures (Covid-19)
    The evaluation concerns the written report (weight 50%) by group of students before the exam session, and the remote oral presentation (weight 50%) by groups of students (synchronous exam of 20 minutes 30 minutes of comments and discussion). This last presentation is organised in a presence of a jury composed by all academic and scientific members involved in the supervision of the project works. An overall individual mark is attributed taking into account the remote oral performance, the degree of activity and participation on the Moodle or Teams platforms, and the involvement in writing the report.
    No students of concern for Q3.
