The aim of the teaching unit is to ensure that the student has rigorously mastered the learning outcomes.
The assignments in B3 are of a different nature to those in B2. They are more concrete and closer to practice. They do not involve double marking, or step-by-step guidance in the design, research of sources and writing. The deadline for completing the work is also tighter.
The work is marked strictly in terms of methodology, the form of the work, the substance of the work, the search for plagiarism, the oral presentation and compliance with deadlines. Shortcomings or negligence in these areas will be severely punished.
B3 students must therefore demonstrate greater autonomy in their documentary research and the preparation of their work.
The assignment is marked by the assistant. It is graded out of 20 points, taking into account the quality of all the tasks carried out as part of the assignment.
The assessment criteria are set out in the TFC coordination document given to students at the beginning of the year.
Specific instructions concerning the work, in particular the use of generative artificial intelligence software, are set out in the coordination document.
