Description of the modifications to the Q3 2020-2021 assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
- assessment on the theoretical course in-person mode ("Covid safe"): chapters 1 to 7 (BAB2 Chemistry); chapters 1 to 8 (BAB2 Physics) - open questions - for BAB2 Physics: a "TP" mark will be taken into consideration and will be part of the final mark (if the written test is passed) |
