- Important Notes
- All evaluation components are compulsory. However:
- An absence without an official justification from a continuous assessment test (tests or presentations) will result in a 0 for that test.
- An absence from a midterm or written exam and/or the oral exam will result in a grade of “absent” for the entire evaluation. The student will then be prohibited from registering for the other parts of the assessment.
- An absence without an official justification from a continuous assessment test (tests or presentations) will result in a 0 for that test.
- Regarding requests for a certificate of attendance, only those submitted via the student’s virtual office will be taken into account.
- A request for a certificate of attendance in December results in a zero for the entire Q1 evaluation; the student cannot take it in Q2; however, they may still take the Q2 evaluations.
- A request for a certificate of attendance in December results in a zero for the entire Q1 evaluation; the student cannot take it in Q2; however, they may still take the Q2 evaluations.
- In case of a justified absence (e.g. illness) from one of the exams, the medical certificate must be sent to the chair of the examination board, to the faculty secretariat, with the professor and course coordinator in copy.
- Article 103
Any student registered for exams who is unable to attend one or more of them must immediately notify the chair of the examination board and the faculty administration of the reason for their absence. At the latest the day after the impediment ends, the student must provide the faculty administration with the original supporting documents, i.e. a medical certificate or any other document, the probative value of which is left to the sovereign appreciation of the chair of the examination board.
Reminder: In case of absence, even if justified, the exam cannot be rescheduled during the same session.
Indeed, according to the General Regulations for Studies and Examinations of UCLouvain, the possibility of retaking an exam later during the session in case of justified absence is only considered if it is impossible to present that exam in a later session of the same academic year.
Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence
Generative AI must be used responsibly and in line with the principles of academic and scientific integrity. Since scientific integrity requires citing sources, any use of AI must always be declared. The use of AI tools during tests and exams for LALLE1330 is strictly forbidden and will be considered cheating.
