It will involve an active approach by students in the form of inverted classes based on readings. The themes will change each year, and will be chosen with the students from a list proposed by the teachers.

Evaluation methods
Assessment procedures for the Special Issues in Agronomy course
Assessment will be based on three modalities, each weighted for one-third of the points:
1. the first modality is an in-session QRM (multiple-response quiz) which will focus on a list of concepts that will have been identified during the various lectures. This list will be provided to the students at the end of the presentations, but will not be formally defined; it is up to the students to have understood these concepts.
2. the second modality is an open-ended question in session on a cross-cutting theme addressed in the various presentations.
3. the third modality will be the evaluation of the group presentation made during one of the different sessions. This presentation will be assessed on the following criteria: scientific rigor, highlighting of controversial arguments and formal quality of the presentation. These three evaluation elements will be supplemented by a Dynamo evaluation of your work within the group producing the presentation. This Dynamo evaluation, whether positive or negative, may lead to the award of one or two penalty or bonus points on the final mark.
