Master classes i applied classes of problem solving

The students have to do a work on a topic related to the subject

The virtual campus will be used for communication with students.

a) Process and scheduled evaluation activities

The course includes the following assessment activities:

• Midterm Exam 1: 40% of the final grade
• Midterm Exam 2: 40% of the final grade
• Group Project: 20% of the final grade. The project is completed in groups and consists of a written report, an oral presentation in class, and a Q&A session following the presentation. The project topic and schedule will be published on the Virtual Campus.

To pass the course, students must obtain a weighted average grade of at least 5.0 across all assessment activities. In addition, each midterm exam must receive a minimum grade of 3.5 in order for the student to pass the course.

This course does not offer a single-assessment (final assessment only) option.

b) Scheduling of evaluation activities

The schedule of assessment activities will be announced on the Virtual Campus; the midterm exams will also be published on the School of Engineering website.

c) Recovery process

The resit assessment consists of two parts, corresponding to the midterm exams.

Completing a resit midterm exam and submitting it for grading implies waiving the grade obtained in the corresponding previous midterm exam.

The group project is not eligible for resit.

d) Qualification review procedure

For each assessment activity, the location, date, and time of the review session will be announced, during which students may review their work with the instructor. In this context, students may submit grade appeals, which will be evaluated by the teaching staff responsible for the course. If a student does not attend this review session, the activity will not be reviewed at a later time.

e) Qualifications

Honours (Matricules d’Honor): Up to 5% of the enrolled students may be awarded Honours (MH). These may only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.5 or higher. Students who have taken the resit assessment are not eligible for Honours.

A student will be considered Not Assessed (NA) if they have not taken part in any of the course’s assessment activities.

f) Irregularities on the part of the student, copying and plagiarism

Without prejudice to any other disciplinary measures that may be deemed appropriate, students who commit irregularities will receive a grade of 0 for the course, with no possibility of resit during the current academic year. Irregularities include copying, plagiarism, and allowing others to copy.

g) Evaluation of repeating students

Students who are repeating the course may retain the grade obtained for the project completed in the previous academic year.

Activities and their scheduling may be subject to changes due to unforeseen events and/or incidents; any updates will be communicated via the Virtual Campus.
