Teaching methods
The course alternates between theoretical lectures and supervised exercise sessions which are organised, in particular, in museums and schools.
Lectures are devoted to the theory of practice on the basis of student presentations.
Individual exercises recorded on video are analysed with the aim of encouraging students to make a self-diagnosis that will enable them to make progress.
Evaluation methods
« Didactic » part: oral exam = 50% of the overall assessment.  « Programme » part: written exam = 25% of the global evaluation. « Communication of scientific knowledge »: written work = 25% of the global evaluation.
If necessary, any appropriate evaluation modality will be put in place.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with the practices of academic and scientific integrity. As scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, the use of AI must always be reported. The use of artificial intelligence for tasks where it is explicitly forbidden will be considered cheating.
