Organization
Knowledge control
At the end of each semester, students are assessed in each Teaching Unit to verify :
- their skills,
- their methodological skills,
- knowledge acquisition.
There are two possible evaluation methods:
✔ 1. Continuous assessment (CC), which consists of several assessments spread throughout the semester:
- supervised homework,
- graded exercises,
- oral presentations,
Continuous assessment encourages regular work and progressive follow-up.
✔ 2. The final exam (ET), this is a single test organized at the end of the semester, often in the form :
- written work (essays, MCQs, exercises, problems),
- oral
This exam assesses all the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the semester.
To validate a semester :
-
the student must obtain an average grade in each UE, or
-
benefit from EU compensation within the semester (according to the school's rules).
Once semesters S1 and S2 have been validated, the student obtains L1, then continues on to L2 and L3, until he or she obtains a full Bachelor's degree in Economics.
