Your exams are returned to you with corrections and comments, and the teachers then explain orally the expected answers to their questions.These tests do not factor into the grades that will be assigned at the end of the year. They are solely a learning tool that gives you an idea of the teachers’ expectations and allows you to assess the effectiveness of your work. Exam Administration January, June, and, if necessary, August… three sessions to demonstrate your mastery of the material.In January, you take exams on the material covered in the first quadrimester. If you fail, you can retake the exam in June and/or August. That means you have three chances to pass, but only during your first year of the bachelor’s program. Starting in the second year, any exam failed during the January or June session is automatically rescheduled for the August session.Depending on the professors’ discretion, courses may be assessed through written or oral exams. The assessment procedures are explained during the first class and are detailed on the university’s website.Throughout your program, the knowledge and skills developed in technical courses are assessed on an almost continuous basis; this assessment relies primarily on quizzes and exercises completed during the year.You will complete your program by demonstrating, through your final project, your ability to conduct independent research and analysis.
