Evaluation methods
In this course, student evaluation will be determined by two parts:
Note:ÌýIn the group work assigned in the exercises sessions of this course, information sources must systematically be cited, according to the academic references standards. In case the student has used a generative AI, s/he must systematically mention the parts of his/her work in which s/he used this tool, by adding a bottom page note indicating if the generative AI tool has been used and the purpose of this use (information search, text writing and/or text revising). The student remains responsible for the content of its production, independently of the references used. Thus, by submitting a group work report for evaluation, the student asserts that: (i) it accurately reflects the phenomenon studied, and to do so, s/he must have verified the facts; (ii) s/he has respected all specific requirements of the work assigned to her/him, in particular requirements for transparency and documentation of the scientific approach implemented. If any of these assertions are not true, whether by intent or by negligence, the student has violated his/her commitment to truth with respect to the piece of knowledge produced in the context of his/her work, and possibly to other aspects of academic integrity, which constitutes academic misconduct and will be considered as such.
- a written exam within session (open questions and exercises), focusing on the whole content of the course (including lectures and exercises sessions), which will account for 80% of the final grade.
- the active participation to the exercises sessions (including the completion of a team work) will also be assessed, which will account for the remaining 20% of the final grade.
