Goals

The objective of the teaching unit is the rigorous mastery of learning outcomes by the student.

Content

The end-of-cycle assignments are of a different nature from those of B2. They are presented as a more concrete and practical exercise. They do not involve double marking, nor step-by-step guidance in designing, sourcing and writing. The deadline for completing the work is also tighter. The marking of the work is severe, both in terms of methodology, form of the work, substance of the work, plagiarism research, oral performance and respect of deadlines. Shortcomings or negligence in these areas will be severely sanctioned. The student must therefore demonstrate greater autonomy in the search for documentation and the preparation of his or her work.

Assessment method

The work is graded by the assistant. It is given a score out of 20 points, which takes into account the quality of all the services provided in the work. The evaluation criteria are specified in the accompanying document given by the assistant at the launch session.
