This course is part of a coherent cluster. The different professors in charge of a course in the framework of this cluster consult each other on the content and the methods of each course in order to ensure complementarity. As far as possible and given the number of students enrolled, the course is based on participatory teaching methods. The professor illustrates its course with examples and invites the students to apply the newly acquired knowledge to practical situations. |
