Teaching methods
This is a face-to-face course with applications of the theories and concepts seen in the course to examples and/or case studies. The context of socio-ecological transitions will serve as the main cross-cutting theme to illustrate the different parts of the course. The aim of the various modules is to provide students with the specific knowledge and skills needed to produce an oral presentation and written work.
It should be noted that part of one class session will take the form of “individual coaching”, during which students will discuss their ideas for the written work with the teachers.

Evaluation methods
The assessment will consist of group work analysing a public policy related to socio-ecological transitions. Students will have to mobilize the concepts and analytical grids seen in the course to shed light on the evolution of this public policy over time. The work will be presented orally during the last class session (30% of the final grade) and may benefit from feedback from other students and the professor to be improved in a written paper (70% of the final grade).
IA guidelines
