assessment procedures


During the academic curriculum, students are assessed in various ways:


- Exams are specific to the teaching cycle: during the 1st cycle, exams (MCQ, knowledge tests, and application exercises) are mainly aimed at assessing the acquisition of knowledge. Thereafter, students are evaluated mainly through case studies, role-plays and project presentations.


- A written report is required after every internship in view of demonstrating the acquisition of skills.


- In the 5th year, students submit an End of Studies Thesis (EST) and defend it before a jury composed of two professors. The validation of the EST is one of the requirements for the diploma.


 


More generally, we use the following six levels of cognitive skills to assess our students:


- Understanding: quizzes, matching exercises, etc.


- Recognizing/Knowing: quizzes, matching exercises, etc.


- Applying : (practical exercises, simulations, etc.)


- Analyzing : (problem solving, case studies, etc.)


- Evaluating : (case studies, reviews etc.)


- Creating: (projects etc.)
