A question sheet with problems to be solved will be available on Moodle at the starting time of the written exam. Within 4 hours, the students will have to answer the questions and upload a pdf copy of their solutions to the problems using a free App of the kind "CamScanner" or "GeniusScan", to give but two examples. The picture from the smartphone is to be taken directly from the Application. An oral examination will take place later, in physical presence at UMONS.
