Personal work

Oral examination

Students must prepare a project designed to give them hands-on experience with two of the data models covered in the course (XML and RDF), as well as LaTeX.
This project will be evaluated through a written report and an oral defense of that report.

The oral exam is based on questions selected at random from a list of questions made available to students during the term.

With regard to the use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the terms and conditions of this course follow those set out for dissertations and TPMs in the Master "dissertation guide" (prohibition on the generation of content, whether text or code; permission granted for linguistic style enhancement only).

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

The oral exam accounts for 55% of the final grade; the project accounts for 45% of the final grade.
