Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Skills for organising and supporting learning in an evolving dynamic.
• Understand the subject content, its epistemological foundations, its scientific and technological development, its didactics and teaching methodology.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Thorough understanding of the core concepts of formal methods, mastery of the underlying mathematical frameworks, ability to apply them to practical cases using software tools, ability to include formal methods in software development processes, understanding of advanced work in the field.

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Presentations of advanced work based on scientific articles or books (Evaluation E3). Project (possibly within a group) (Evaluation E4). Final grade for UE. If an evaluation is below 8, the final grade is equal to the minimal evaluation. Otherwise, the following weights are used: E1 (40%), E2 (10%), E3 (20%), E4 (30%).
