Exam
The exam will be organised in sessions, either onsite or online. Each session will be around 2h long and group 3 to 5 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 in the workshops. For those who did the project, 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.
