The written part consists of a closed-answer test (10 points) and a semi-structured written test (10 points) for a duration of 30 minutes.
Students who attend the lessons regularly (at least 70%) can opt for a progressive evaluation in the form of partial tests in progress (during the course). Non-attending students (attendance less than 70%) will be evaluated with similar tests administered globally in the winter, summer and autumn sessions.
The final vote is expressed in 30th place and corresponds to the sum of the partial votes. During the exam we will evaluate how the student has integrated the knowledge acquired and then the level of achievement of the training objectives of the course.
The assessment will also take into account communication skills and the use of appropriate scientific language.
