Academany Structure

Classes

Global Lecture / Class During the class, faculty presents and explains the content of each week’s assignment

Local Instruction During the week, students will work in the Lab, with their peers and under the guidance of their Instructor, to accomplish the weekly assignments. Every Node must ensure:

  • Instruction and technical guidance to all students

  • Students support off hours

  • Students weekly evaluation

  • Archive management (setting and fixing student’s sites on GitLab)

Evaluation & Examination

The evaluation process to assess student’s progress on assignments during the cycle is comprised by 2 layers:

Local evaluation

Global evaluation

Evaluation Criteria or Assessment Standards are updated yearly.
