Teaching methods

Lectures - flipped classrooms - practical work
Students are informed that the course requires regular reading and preparation for teaching sessions. Attendance at both practical and theoretical sessions is strictly mandatory.

Evaluation methods

Active participation in practical and theoretical classes (reading articles, presentations, etc.) is assessed using a pass/fail system. All of these assessments account for 4/20 of the final score.
The final assessment therefore accounts for 16/20 of the final score. It consists of an oral exam that will take place in the gym and will involve demonstrations of practical exercises. The questions will focus on case studies.
The final grade will be equal to the score out of twenty thus obtained multiplied by the attendance rate for practical and theoretical classes.

Other information

This course is strictly reserved for FSM students. It is not open to other UCLouvain students.
How and when should I submit a medical certificate?

1. A specific certificate template must be completed by the doctor.
2. The student must scan their certificate in good quality. They must name the file with their first name, last name, and year of enrollment. The file must be saved in .pdf format.
   (example: Delie_Arnaud_EDPH1BA.pdf)
3. The original or scanned copy of the medical certificate must be sent to a.mortier@uclouvain.be, and
4. The scan must also be sent to the faculty administration using the specific form available at the following address: www.uclouvain.be/fsm-cm.
