Teaching methods
a. Process organization
The course will contain a mix of:
- Lectures focusing on background and methodology,
- Sessions during which students will be requested to debate and elaborate a position on a specific issue, which they will present either in writing or orally.
It may be offered to some students to make an in-depth study of a specific theme, and to report on their work either as a presentation or in writing.
b. Media
Students will be provided for each specific theme with a short reading list. They will also be provided with a short general bibliography on the theme.

Evaluation methods
The students will be graded, based on the learning outcomes described above, from oral examination and from essays that they will submit individually or in small groups.
Grades will be the sum of two components, with the following weights:
• 30% based on one or more team essay(s), to be submitted during the semester;
• 70% based on one or more individual essay(s) and an exam discussion.
In the case of more than 2 unjustified absences of a student from the class, we reserve ourselves the right to activate Articles 72 and 73 of the RGEE and may recommend the jury to not authorize the student registration to the exam.
