Modalités d'évaluation et critères
Groups of students are formed to analyze a real case (mining or recycling) on the aspects covered by the seminars. The real case (ex. ore deposit) may be transferred to a hypothetical region of the world where social, technical and environmental constraints are extremely challenging.
Each student specifically focuses on one of the aspects but has to review those covered by the other members of the group. Key facts are orally defended by each student possibly questioned on any part of the joint report. Final marks are the result of the assessment of each student's contribution to the joint written report and (the oral presentation).
Students who failed the first examination have the opportunity to improve the chapter that he/she was responsible for in the joint report. He/she also writes a short report addressing the Bankable feasibility aspects of his or her mining project. The final resit mark takes the new written report into account.
