Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and/or works
• Practical test
• Graded tests
• eTest

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Attendance at tutorials is mandatory with a check at the end of each session. These Tutorials result in a series of interim evaluations (MCQ/Tutorial Report) that form part of the final evaluation of the AA. Failure to attend the tutorial sessions and/or failure to submit the associated assignments will result in a zero rating.  Only absences due to force majeure will be taken into account on the basis of a valid receipt to be submitted to the secretariat within 24 hours of the session concerned.
Other than these intermediate evaluations, the final evaluation will consist of the submission of an assignment (details given at the beginning of the course) and a practical examination (or assignment + presentation) during the evaluation period. The final choice of weighting between the different modes of evaluation will be specified at the beginning of the course (introductory course) and communicated via its Moodle page and/or Teams group.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral examination
• Practical Test
• Graded tests

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The final choice for the mode of evaluation for Q3 and its weighting will be specified following the communication of the results of the Q2 session and via the Moodle page of the course.
