Assessment methods

Skills and knowledge are evaluated equally, with two distinct methods: continuous assessment and end-of-term examinations.

 

Continuous assessment is conducted throughout the teaching period. It may consist of knowledge tests, practical cases, research assignments, and/or oral presentations to produce alone or as a group.

 

End-of-term examinations are scheduled outside of regular class sessions. If applicable, they may consist in several types of exercises: presenting a case study, carrying out a project, writing an activity report and/or a dissertation, or a placing the student in a simulated professional setting.
