Evaluation
Evaluation : Conservation Policies (B-KUL-H20A4a)
Explanation
Individual exams are organized with a selected number of guest professors (oral with written preparation).
A part is evaluated through a specific contribution to the Integrated Project Work 3 (see H00A5A), which is organised as team work; this implies writing a paper with bibliography, and oral presentation of the results.
Evaluation is therefore based on individual assesments and group assessments both.
In case of re-examination, the course coordinator will set a additional assignment as appropriate (extension or reworking of paper - individual).
