Teaching methods
This course combines individual and collective assignments, to be done in classroom and at home as well as individual, collective and peer-reviewed readings, discussions, reflections and productions.
Evaluation methods
In the first session, the course relies on a combination of several methods of learning and assessment: a group research that will lead to an oral presentation, a poster and a written paper in the format of a scientific article, a review of an article/chapter, a written report on the first version of another group's paper, the oral and visual presentation of a poster to a panel of professionals and an individual oral exam.
All the deadlines will be announced in class and the assignments have to be uploaded on Moodle.
In the second session, similar methods of learning and assessment are organised: an individual research that will lead to an oral presentation, a poster and a written paper in the format of a scientific article, a review of an article/chapter, a written report on the first version of another student's paper, the oral and visual presentation of a poster to the professor and an individual oral exam.
