About SLT (student led tutorials)

• For the SLT we will form groups of ~20 students.
• One week before the SLT session, we will provide a set of 6 exercises questions via the Moodle platform.
• Students prepare the answers to the exercises and confirm via an online tool on Moodle to be ready to discuss the question in front of the group if picked randomly by the TA.
• If you don’t declare readiness, you won’t be asked to present, but of course you can (and should) take part in the discussion.
• You must indicate your readiness for at least 5 SLT sessions out of the 6 to qualify for the maximum grade.
• The official language of the course being English, we also conduct the SLT in English. This is part of the learning, and since we discuss in a group, with some members not fluent in French, it is the most convenient way. Of course, if some student has not the right term in English available, he/she can drop in some words in French, and then return to English.
  

SLT grading scheme:

• The SLT's count for 25% of the final grade.
• You can opt out for one SLT and still get the maximum grade for the SLT part.
• Each student will at least be random picked 1x to present, most student will be picked 2x or more.
• After each SLT session, TA will 'grade' the student's presentation with either A, B, or C.
• In case of more than one presentation, we will keep the highest 'grade' for the final count.

This table gives an overview of SLT grades as function of attendance and presentation quality. A = very good, B = good, C = insufficient. For each student, one of the numbers in red will count for 25% for the final grad.
