Teaching methods
Ex cathedra lectures in French with some interaction. The ex cathedra nature of teaching does not prevent a certain degree of interaction between the teacher and students. Teachers are also available to answer students' questions between classes.
Each lecture is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. Most of the normative texts and case law decisions discussed are in the slides. A series of documents used during the course will be provided in a collection of appendices that supplement the syllabus given to students. Students are required to study the material using the Code BAC and the syllabus of appendices, which they may also use during assessments, provided that the annotation system specific to this Code is strictly adhered to.
Classes are taught in face-to-face. Assessment is based on a written exam.
