Note: (i) some of the linked material may only be available from within the ULiege network. Connect to ULiege’s VPN for remote access (ii) the research papers need to be studied for the assignment date.
Assignment
The statement of the assignment is available here. The deadline to submit the assignment is 08/12/21 at 23:59. Check the statement for the submission details.
Part of the mark for the project will come from the evaluation of the report (same for all members of one group) and the rest of the mark will come from an oral discussion with the teaching assistants on 15/12/21 (different for each member). The schedule can be found here.
Exercises evaluation
The exercises evaluation, organised on 15/12/21 at 8:30 in R21, is mandatory and will cover the content of exercises sessions 1 (questions 2 to 4) and 2 (questions 1 to 3).
Exam
The exam will be organised in sessions, either onsite or online. Each session will be around 2h long and group 4 to 6 students.
Each session will be organized in the following way.
- One of the assessors – Pr. Damien Ernst or an assistant – will give each student a question to answer.
- The student will then have some time to write down an answer to the question.
- Once the student is finished answering or when the assessor considers he/she had enough time to answer, the student and the assessor will have a discussion over the question and topics related to this question.
- This process will be repeated for one or two more questions.
Questions will cover both the theoretical courses given by Pr. Damien Ernst and the content presented by the TAs. Questions might be asked on the project.
The exam schedule is provided here. Please be present (be it physically or virtually) at least 10 minutes before the start of your session.
