Method(s) of evaluation

• Oral examination

Oral examination

• Open question with long development

Oral examination in May/June, with questions on 2 of the 3 plays selected for the year (during the interview, the choice of these 2 plays is entirely at the examiner's discretion).
 

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

The final mark in May/June will be broken down as follows:

- 75% for the plays on the Set Reading List
- 25% for the quality of spoken English proficiency

IMPORTANT: THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF TRANSFERRING PARTIAL GRADES FROM ONE ACADEMIC YEAR TO THE NEXT (so if a student did not obtain the overall pass of 10/20 for the course evaluation as a whole in either June or August, he or she will have to retake ALL the evaluation components in the following year).

IMPORTANT: in conformity with Article 40 of the "Règlement des études" (Regulations Governing Studies at ULB) and the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence tools defined therein, students are prohibited from resorting to GAI in order to complete a learning task or demonstrate the acquisition of a skill meant to be assessed in a given examination ("recourir à une IAG pour effectuer la tâche ou démontrer la compétence sur lesquelles porte l’évaluation concernée"). If an answer offered during the evaluation process is clearly IAG-based, this will automatically lead to the cancellation of the examination pure and simple.
