Teaching methods
The pedagogical methods used include lectures, case study and testimonials, pre-readings and student presentations
Evaluation methods
Evaluation criteria
The evaluation combines class participation (bonus points), group works (continuous evaluation - 50%) and an oral exam (20 min, in June, 50%). Students who fail the June exam can have a second chance in September (oral exam or written work if student is abroad)
Compulsory attendance for corporate testimonials, workshops and group work presentations
The evaluation criteria for the oral exam include:
Except when specifically authorized, the use of content generation tools should be limited to suggesting preliminary ideas (similar to using a search engine) or improving wording (similar to using a spell checker). If any part of the work is not an original contribution by the student(s), it should be clearly communicated using adequate referencing.
In particular, by submitting an assignment for evaluation, you assert the following:
The assignment accurately reflects the facts and you have verified those facts, especially if they originate from generative AI resources;
All your sources beyond common knowledge are properly attributed. Common knowledge is what a knowledgeable reader can assess without requiring confirmation from a separate source;
You have adhered to all specific requirements of your assigned work, in particular requirements for transparency and documentation of process, or have explained yourself where this was not possible.
If any of these assertions are not true, whether by intent or negligence, you have violated your commitment to truth, and possibly other aspects of academic integrity. This constitutes academic misconduct.
