Additional information:

Oral examination.

Each student can opt for an additional oral exam on a question of Greek history or civilization. If you choose this option, the optional test will count for 20% of the overall mark. This question, the content of which does not replace part of the subject matter of the author course, will start from your personal reading of an article, a set of articles, a chapter of a book or a set of chapters written in French or in another modern language, totaling approximately fifty pages and relating to a theme from Greek history or civilization, whether or not linked to the content of the author in the program. You will bring the text(s) of your choice to the exam, you will make a brief (max. 5 min.) and reasoned presentation of the question, emphasizing in particular what your reading has brought you, and you will answer a few questions, mainly of a general nature. The oral exam is not preceded by any preparation time, but all documents are authorized. The purpose of this optional test is to allow you, if you wish, to complete your studies with readings on a subject that you may regret the absence of in your program. If you are embarking on this process, please send me your choice of text(s) no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

The mark of the midterm exam in January will count for 20% of the June final mark if > or = 10/20. The mark will have no effect on the final grade if it doesn't reach 10/20 and the final exam will then be cumulative.
