Test

Semester 7 - The exam is given in english only 

In-class SESSION1:
Type of assessment: Supervised written exam + continuous assessment (homework) 10%
Duration: 2 hours
Modalities: All documents are forbidden. Only a formula document will be distributed with the subject for the exam.
Calculator: allowed

In-class SESSION2:
Same modalities as in session 1 for supervised written exam part. The continuous assessment remains the same as in session 1

Lockdown conditions, session 1: same as in-class, with the exam on-line and on-line supervision (zoom).
Lockdown conditions, session 2: same as in-class, with the exam on-line and on-line supervision (zoom).



session 1 condition normale : 90% DS + 10% CC
session 2 condition normale : 90% DS rattrapage + 10% CC de la session 1

session 1 condition confinement : mêmes qu’en présentiel
session 2 condition confinement : mêmes qu’en présentiel
