Language skills acquired during exercises are generally assessed on a continuous basis (active participation) or through group or individual assignments.Each instructor will inform you of their requirements and the exam procedures. Several instructors provide sample questions verbally or via the intranet.You will complete your program by demonstrating, through your final project, that you have acquired a research approach and the ability for personal and critical reflection, in accordance with the standards of your chosen discipline (literature/linguistics).
