At the end of the course, the students must be able: - To understand and explain the general principles which guide the compensation of damages as well as the different techniques allowing the evaluation of a damage; - To identify the different posts of repairable damages in the most recent state of the jurisprudence; - To carry out the complete evaluation of the damage to goods or personal injury at the offset of a concrete case. This course is part of a consistent option of three courses. The holders of the optional courses form an educational team: they consult each other on the contents and methods of each course in order to assure compliancy. [The course relies on the participative educational methods (training by projects or problems, jurisprudence or doctrine commentaries, debates with guests, case- studies?) allowing the student to individually develop a critical, prospective and inventive outlook. The student is encouraged to participate in the lesson and to be involved in the training, which has both an individual and collective aspect. In this perspective, the teachers of the different options consult each other within the Faculty about the education system in place]. |
