Prior Experience

Programming and algorithms (see for example US-B1-SCINFO-007-M, US-B1-SCINFO-008-M)
Mathematical Analysis (see for example US-B1-SCMATH-004-M, US-B1-SCMATH-005-M Calculus I, Calculus II)
Probability

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and/or works
• Oral Examination

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Oral examination with lecture notes available : 33%
Project : 67% (33% for the written report, 33% for the oral presentation)      
Both parts must be passed successfully, otherwise the lowest grade is the overall grade 
(The examination can take place in English for foreign students, if requested)
According to the Studies Rules and Regulations (Art. 37: "Tout étudiant est tenu de suivre régulièrement les activités d'apprentissage du programme auquel il s'est inscrit, sauf s'il en est dispensé"), regular class attendance (at least 60%) is a condition for being admitted to the exam.
