Prerequisites
The "Exercises" are designed as a practical application of the principles of critical history and as a complement to the course of Heuristic of the Middle Ages to the extent that they presuppose recourse to bibliographical and heuristic tools. Knowledge of Latin is desireable.

Main themes
The student is progressively introduced to working tools, synthesizing works and important monographs, as well as the typology of sources for the period considered. These exercises are designed to complement the corresponding heuristics course. During group exercise sessions, various sources related to the period concerned are successively presented and analysed, on the basis of a preliminary, personal work by students.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| By the end of the course, the students should be capable of carrrying out documentary research for the medieval period, situating it in the context of the problems analysed as finely as possible and grasping the link between the problem and recourse to documentation. By the end of the exercises, the student should be capable of successfully carrying out in-depth study of documents related to medieval history (nature of the source, contents, critical problems, interest). |

Content
This is a course in methodology, encyclopedia, typology of medieval sources and source criticism, designed to deepen the general heuristics course. The objectives of the course are: to develop knowledge and appropriation of medieval sources; to develop skills in reading, analyzing and critically synthesizing works and sources; to develop and consolidate problematization skills; to develop writing and research presentation skills.
Teaching methods
While following theoretical lessons around medieval sources and associated works, students will be invited to carry out a series of works around themes and sources.
Evaluation methods
60% of the final grade will be linked to the assessment of work carried out in continuous assessment and/or handed in at the end of the term.
40% of the final grade (eval of theoretical knowledge) is linked to continuous assessment OR assessment of a written exam, session 2 & 3.
The final grade is conditional on the submission of practical work (continuous assessment and/or handed in at the end of the term).
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with academic and scientific integrity practices. Scientific integrity requires citing one's sources; therefore, the use of AI must always be disclosed. The use of artificial intelligence for tasks where it is explicitly prohibited will be considered a case of cheating.
