Evaluation

Method(s) of evaluation

  • Oral examination

Oral examination

Oral exam (June and August sessions) on the 2nd axis.

Modality: Six themes will be determined according to the conferences. For each theme, the student will have to prepare a structured theoretical and practical analysis based on the reference articles, the lectures and possibly the experiences from the internships, additional readings...

The aim is to carry out a personal work of thought, argumentation and putting into perspective the key dimensions in relation to each theme. This work of analysis, argumentation and perspective will be synthesized in the form of a cognitive map or mindmapping for each theme. During the oral exam, the choice of the theme will be made by random choice.

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

The final score will be based on the evaluation in the form of an oral exam, taking into account any penalties for absence.

In case of absence (except in cases of force majeure) during the sessions of axes 1 and 2, the penalties may range from the completion of additional work to a penalty of - 5 points in the final grade of the UE

More detailed information will be given at the beginning of the second term.
