4/ Should you miss one of these exams, there will be no catch-up session
whatsoever, even if you have a valid and sincere justification.
5/ Attendance is compulsory: unlike
in L2 and in M1, there is no "contrôle final" in L3 because the English
course is optional in L3. Should the students be absent 3 times (ie 2 +
1) without providing a valid and sincere justification, their
semester grade will be impacted by - 30% (example: if a student's
semester grade is 10/20 and is absent 3 times without justification,
their grade will be: 10 x (-30%) = 07/20.
