Knowledge assessment

Knowledge assessment:

  • 40% CC1 Specific knowledge and expertise
  • 10% Knowledge of professional development and university terminology.
  • 30% Up-to-date skills assessment
  • 30% CC2 Cross-functional expertise
  • 20% Understanding an issue: Identifying these values and drivers

  • 30% CC3 Interpersonal skills
  • 15% Autonomy: knowing how to organize yourself effectively 
  • 15% Reflexivity: self-assessment

At each stage, an assessment will be made, holistically if there is multiple data, and according to a 5-level Likert scale: --/0: not acquired, with a lot of work still to be done, -/1: very partially acquired, -+/2: in the process of being acquired, +/3: acquired to a very satisfactory level, ++/4: acquired with excellent mastery.  

Ultimately, each CC1 indicator will be assessed holistically over the year and the levels will be multiplied by 5 to obtain a score out of 20.
