Examination subject: course + MOOC.

In January, an open-book examination (without a computer, i.e. students can have their course notes and MOOC storyboards in printed form), worth 20% of the points, will take the form of an essay. In the event of failure, this mark will not be included in the final mark.

In June, for 80% of the points (and 100% for those who obtained less than 10/20 in January), the final exam, with the course and MOOC closed, will take the form of a written exam with cross-curricular open questions (knowledge and reflection). 

In August (2nd session), this final written exam will be taken for 100% of the marks and for everyone.

For Erasmus students, the written exam could be converted into an oral exam by mutual agreement.
