These courses include the supervised study of a particular project (or part of a project) or articles which are not covered in the strict sense of the word, but only referred to, during the lectures. These reading tasks are complementary to the lectures. The 15 hours of practical exercices planned for these sessions will facilitate assimilation and discussion of the actual content and will therefore not constitute "revision" periods but rather group work sessions. The student will have to submit a succinct personal report and part of the final exam score will be specifically reserved for these complementary reading tasks. Furthermore, the subject matter covered by these complementary readings will likewise form part of the exam content.
