In this section, you will find information about the sessions typology and the Course Design Rules.
Categories
Undergraduate and Master IN-PERSON PROGRAMS (Face to Face, Full Time or Part Time)
As a general rule for all In-Person programs (Face to Face), all sessions must be scheduled as Live in-person sessions by default, exams included.
Asynchronous sessions will be voluntary in some programs up to a maximum of 20% of the course and will require an academic supervision process (see detailed table below).
Asynchronous sessions – supervision process required (before uploading the syllabus)
In order to ensure academic quality, if a professor wants to include asynchronous sessions in their course instead of Live in-person sessions, coordination with their area director (or coordinator designated) is required.
In the process of approving the syllabi, area directors (or coordinators designated) will double check especially the quality of the teaching activities proposed for the asynchronous sessions.
Once the course has started, no request for a change in the format of the sessions will be accepted except in the case of proven force majeure (check below).
Exceptions (once classes have started)
Exceptionally, once classes have started and in case of proven force majeure, a professor may request a special permission to switch a Live in-person session to a Live online session. In this case they must provide a justification to their program experience manager who must grant an explicit approval.
All Preprograms
Business School Core Preprograms (Accounting, Excel, Q. Methods, Economics, Finance, Software)
- As a general rule all precourses sessions must be scheduled as Asynchronous sessions for in person programs.
