Translation : 50%
Continuous assessment (class participation, homework): 30%

Final assessment: commented translation test with a pragmatical video text lasting 3 to 4 min. Written exam in June: 70%
For the translation exam C to A, each student will have a work station with a computer. Students are entitled to use all sources generally employed by professional translators (Internet, dictionaries, reference books).

Interpeting ( 50%):
Oral examination of consecutive interpreting and synthesis in a lab.
Continuous assessment will take place during the year (class participation, homework) that will ac-count for 30%.

In case of a fail grade, you're invited to visit the MOODLE page of the course and check the details. A 10/20 or higher mark will automatically be transferred to the second or third exam session. It's thus not possible to re-sit the exam related to this part of the course.
