Évaluation
The student is assessed on the course based on two components: an individual project (65%) and a group work (partly in and partly out of class) (35%). A detailed description of the individual project and the group work will be available on ieseg-online at the start of the course. Peer assessment can be used to trace insufficient contribution to the group project, leading to a negative adjustment of individual scores on the group project for the student(s) concerned.

Feedback on the group project will be provided to all group members by e-mail. Further, all students (either individual or in group) are invited to contact the professor to schedule a meeting (face-to-face or Skype) to discuss the individual project and/or to exchange more deeply on the group project.
