Program, Schedule and Grading

Cours Program

Each "unit" is divided into several segments, each in turn in various video parts.

The "size" of the two units is highly heterogeneous, with the first one in particular corresponding to actually 2-3 traditional "lessons". This is reflected in the schedule below.

Course schedule, spring 2022 run

- Keek-off lesson: 17.March.2022 10:00 - 12:00,  AgroParisTech, 14 Rue Girardet, Nancy, Room "Jacamon 1"

- Second frontal lesson: 7.April.2022 10:00 - 12:00,  AgroParisTech, 14 Rue Girardet, Nancy, Room "Jacamon 1"

Detailed schedule

** At 23:59 of the given date (Sundays evening)

Grading and quizzes

There is no formal "grading" for PhD students, but you still need to submit the quizzes and exercises before the deadlines. The best student will receive a prize in terms of a cloud computational resource which could prove very useful if the work will involve computational aspects !

Each quiz question contributes one point, so a quiz with 5 questions will contribute more than a quiz with 3 questions. The second unit instead of quizzes has two practical exercises that will be (manually) graded 5 points each.

To get a full mark for a multiple-choice question you need to answer all and only the correct answers. If you select 2 of 3 correct answers you obtain 0.66 points for that question, if you select even a single wrong answer you would get 0 points (this is due to the obvious reason that otherwise the best strategy would be just to check all the answers...)

You have two attempts for each question with no penalties for the second attempt and instant feedback on each question.

For coding questions, try to answer the questions by reasoning, without running the code to get the correct answer (or at least, do it on your second attempt).
