Teaching methods
The course is based on projects and laboratories.
During the semester, students in groups of three (or four), study, on the basis of the documents provided by the teachers and on their own bibliographic research, three topics selected by the teachers. Each topic is studied during two or three weeks. At the end of each period, all the groups hand in reports and some groups, selected by the teachers, present a 10 or 20 min seminar, according to the teacher's recommendations. Each group performs a laboratory related to the macromolecular nanotechnology during the semester and hands in a report.

Evaluation methods
Students are evaluated on the basis of
The final evaluation is an oral examination. It is based on the reading, understanding and criticism of a scientific paper dealing with one of the themes of macromolecular nanotechnology presented during the semester.
The final grade will be based on:
- an oral exam at the end of the semester which will count for 50% of the final grade
- the word done during the whole semester which will count for 50% of the final grade.
- their work during the semester and
- a final examination.
