The written exam will be done on Moodle with multiple choice questions, in front of a commission chaired by the professor in charge of the course. The student who has achieved a score of at least 18/30 in the written part will be asked an oral question. This level of achievement is graded out of thirty and the determination of the final grade takes into account both the outcome of the written and oral exam (80%), and the active and fruitful participation in the e-tivities of the course (20%).

These activities are carried out online using e-learning methodologies in compliance with current regulations.
