University: Panthéon-Sorbonne students ask to waive face-to-face exams

In five days, Carla, a third year law student, will find herself in the midst of thousands of students for partials scheduled in person. Problem : his parents are both positive for Covid-19. If contact is made, she is afraid of becoming contagious, but even positive, she will go. “I am left with no choice”, she says. She needs her grades to apply for a Masters in February, but her heart is heavy.

Despite these risks, the Paris presidency has chosen to maintain its partials face-to-face, but plans to organize a replacement session. The figures of the past week are worrying, the incidence rate among 20-29 year olds is 4,306 cases per 100,000 people in Paris, a record. In addition, no health or vaccination pass will be required at the entrance to the amphitheatres. Thomas Martin, spokesperson for the promotion at the university Pantheon-Sorbonne, asks to give up the partials in face-to-face. A summary has been filed with the administrative tribunal of Paris to require partials in distancing.
