| Description of the modifications to the Q3 2019-2020 online assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
| The evaluation will be divided in two parts : 1) A written exam for the exercises (1/3 of the rating) 2) An oral exam for the theory (2/3 of the rating) The procedures are as follows: 1) Exercises - written exam on the Moodle platform: On the scheduled date in hyperplanning, each student will be invited to download his/her individualized questionnaire from the Moodle platform. He/She will then have a maximum of 1h30 to answer the questions and will have to upload his/her answers in pdf format on the Moodle platform in the time allotted. Students will have access to their course notes. The exercises to be solved will be comparable to those given during the exercise sessions and will be of equivalent level for all students. 2) Theory - oral exam using the TEAMS software: The exam will be a remote oral exam performed with the TEAMS software. Each student must therefore have a PC with microphone and camera and must be able to join a TEAMS meeting. The students will be evaluated individually every 20 minutes. The times of passage will be transmitted via the Moodle platform. The evaluation will cover all the chapters dealt with face-to-face and remotely, namely all chapters I to VII. Since the molecular part has not been seen, it will obviously not be evaluated. The focus will be clearly on understanding physical concepts rather than restitution. Students will have access to their course notes during the evaluation. In addition, the evaluation of each student will take into account the particular circumstances of this academic year, in particular the fact that part of the course could only be approached in the context of distance learning. |
