Teaching methods
The teaching method emphasizes active and interactive student learning and are based on the principle of the flipped classroom. Students are encouraged to adopt a reflective approach to their work and their progress. A typical sequence operates as follows:
1. Before the class: preparation of the unit's material through the various resources (see section "course materials") according to the schedule presented on Moodle UCLouvain.
2. Class session during which students are asked to apply what has been prepared beforehand through collaborative and individual class activities.
3. After the class session, it is the students' responsibility to redo the exercises according to their needs identified during the class sessions (teacher feedback, personal notes...).

Evaluation methods
- The written exam (60%) verifies that the course objectives have been met.
- Continuous assessment (40%) is twofold:
- Online preparation work on the MoodleUCL platform, the Flowchase application, and in the syllabus as well as on the degree of participation in the course during the quadrennium. Attendance in the course is mandatory, as is the exclusive use of the English language.
- A research paper and an oral presentation will be evaluated. Students will be guided in the development and completion of this project.
- The second session exam will cover the entire course and the grade obtained will reflect only the result obtained in this exam without taking into account the continuous assessment. It is the student's responsibility to contact the teachers no later than 5 working days after the results are published to find out which parts, if any, need to be re-examined in the second session.
Other information
