Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face
• Graded assignment(s) - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

The exam at the end of Q1 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works. The mark of the practical works is obtained during the Q1 and is composed for 50% of the marks attributed to the reports of each manipulation, and for 50% of the mark obtained at the laboratory exam taking place at the end of Q1.

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8*mark of the written examination) + (0.2*global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
 

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q1 UE resit assessment (BAB1)

• Written examination - Face-to-face

Q1 UE Resit Assessment Comments (BAB1)

It is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works. 

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q1 UE resit assessment

Global mark = (0.8*mark of the written examination) + (0.2*global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again the tests concerning the practical works.
 

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q3 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

The exam at the end of Q3 is a written exam based principally on exercises, in order to evaluate the understanding of the course. The mark of this exam represents 80% of the global mark, the remaining 20% corresponding to the mark of the practical works. 

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q3 UE assessment

Global mark = (0.8*mark of the written examination) + (0.2*global mark of the practical work). The participation to at least 50% of the practical work is mandatory to pass the exam.
Caution, the mark of parctical works obtained during Q1 will remain unchanged ; there is no possibility to present again during Q3 the tests concerning the practical works.
