Content
This course consists mainly of activities done individually or in groups, thus making use of an inductive learning method. The main objectives of the exercise sessions are :
- to supervise the individual and group learning tasks by using real-life projects, practical situations and/or by clearly describing the technical or theoretical elements required to carry them out;
- to suggest overall ways of improving the different pieces of work presented in addition to assessments given to each student or group of students.
Teaching methods
Alternate lectures, supervised exercises, group work, meetings with professionals. Some activities could be transposed remotely depending on the evolution of the sanitary situation.
Evaluation methods
Continuous assessment throughout the course on each student's participation as well as the work they do individually or in groups.
A written examination at the end of the course, which focuses on the mastery of the professional French language and writing techniques seen during the courses, and on the self-evaluation of the skills acquired.
