Teaching methods

The teaching method is based on the principles of the flipped classroom. Theoretical content  (commented slides, reading assignement and exercises, e.g., case analysis, experiential exercise) will be made available on Moodle. Critical elaboration sessions, exercises and debates will be organised during the course sessions.
The course includes an in-depth case conceptualisation, including a tutorial session and the completion of three compulsory activities. These activities are designed so that each student can benefit from feedback from peers and from a teaching assistant at various times during the term, particularly during the tutorial session.
