Project
2/20 Modelling computer project (with Python)+ 18/20 written exam.
NOTA BENE. Students could be contacted at the Professor’s office after their written exam to justify their answers. A date will be communicated in this regard at the beginning of the session, and the students concerned will be contacted (email ULB) at least one day in advance. The student must report to the Professor’s office (no video conference possible): in case of the student’s unavailability, the exam will be marked as zero.
Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)
