This teaching unit ("Unité d'enseignement," or UE) is subject to the principle of the "note absorbante," which means that the student having obtained a mark below 8/20 for one of the learning activities ("activités d'apprentissage," or AA) will receive a failing grade for the entire unit and will have to retake the failed AA in the second session regardless of the mathematical average of the two AA grades. Weighting 65%.
First term:
- Oral presentation of a scientific paper, cannot be rescheduled (15% of the final grade)
- Written theoretical exam (35% of the final grade)
Second term:
- Research project - presentation of the intermediate results, cannot be rescheduled (15% of the final grade)
- Research project (group project) (35% of the final grade)
