Teaching methods

The student benefits, throughout the elaboration of his/her work, from the support of a teacher who will be the supervisor. The degree and the modalities of the accompaniment (more or less directed work, more or less autonomous, etc.) are agreed between the supervisor and the student. In all cases, the student and the supervisor commit themselves to what constitutes an educational contract. Once the subject has been validated, it is useful to establish a work schedule with your supervisor. 

Evaluation methods

The work takes the form of a document of about 50 pages (excluding bibliography and possible annexes).  An oral defence of the work is then scheduled, with a reader.
The rating is established by taking into account : 1. The quality of the form and content of the dissertation; 2. the quality of the student's brief oral presentation; 3. the course of the discussion between the student, the supervisor and the reader.
