Teaching methods

This course combines individual and collective assignments, to be done in classroom and at home as well as individual, collective and peer-reviewed readings, discussions, reflections and productions.

Evaluation methods

In the first session, the course relies on a combination of several methods of learning and assessment: a group research that will lead to an oral presentation, a poster and a written paper in the format of a scientific article, a review of an article/chapter, a written report on the first version of another group's paper, the oral and visual presentation of a poster to a panel of professionals.
All the deadlines will be announced in class and the assignments have to be uploaded on Moodle.
In the second session, similar methods of learning and assessment are organised: an individual research that will lead to an oral presentation, a poster and a written paper in the format of a scientific article, a review of an article/chapter, a written report on the first version of another student's paper, the oral and visual presentation of a poster to the professor.

Other information

Depending on the evolution of sanitary conditions and consequently of the sanitary code, the teaching and evaluation mode will possibly change, in whole or in part, to remote mode via one or several computer tools provided by the University.  Students enrolled in the course will be informed by e-mail.
