Teaching methods

The course is structured like a seminar:

• a participatory pedagogical approach;
• a reflective and iterative approach: developing methodological skills is an iterative and reflective process that unfolds throughout the course and beyond;
• students are recognized as active agents in their own learning processes. They contribute meaningfully by initiating discussions, sharing supplementary readings, proposing alternative learning structures or modalities, and offering constructive feedback that enhances both individual progress and the collective development of the group. Throughout the course, students engage in a diverse array of thoughtfully designed learning activities intended to deepen their conceptual understanding and sharpen their command of the subject matter. While in-person sessions serve as the cornerstone of their educational experience, their commitment extends well beyond these encounters, encompassing continuous and active participation across all dimensions of the learning journey;
• as part of this course, students will be required to collect and analyze data in order to demonstrate that they have acquired the necessary learning outcomes for the subject.

Course sessions alternate between lectures (with readings and article discussions) and periods of activities/exercises/discussions organized in a way that enables students to engage with and take ownership of the concepts and tools presented in the course.
Classes take place over either a half day or a full day. Student attendance is mandatory due to the targeted activities and exercises offered during these sessions. Any student who is absent will be required to complete additional work for each missed session.

Evaluation methods

• Summative assessment consists of two components: 1) The development of a portfolio that highlights the knowledge and skills acquired, in alignment with the defined learning objectives; 2)  An individual written examination. The final grade reflects the integration of both components. Successful completion of each part is essential to demonstrate the competencies and knowledge outlined in the learning outcomes of the course unit. The course cannot be passed unless both components of the assessment are successfully completed.
• Details regarding the summative assessment are provided via Moodle and introduced during the first session by the teaching team.
• Learner progress is assessed formatively through in-class exercises, assignment preparation, and methodological reflections.
• Assessment modalities remain consistent across both the first and second examination sessions.
• Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): The use of generative AI tools is discouraged. For the completion of this assignment, such tools may be used solely to revise or enhance the form of the text, and not to contribute to its content. Learners are reminded that all sources of information, including AI-generated material, must be properly cited in accordance with bibliographic referencing standards. Each learner remains fully responsible for the content of their work, regardless of the sources employed. To ensure compliance with these guidelines, learners must retain records of any interactions with generative content tools until final results are announced. Timestamped transcripts must be archived in a manner that allows the teaching team to conduct necessary verifications. It is important to note that any use of generative AI tools beyond what is permitted may result in the initiation of an irregularity procedure, as outlined in Articles 107 and subsequent of the General Regulations on Studies and Assessments, and may lead to academic sanctions. The assignment may, if deemed necessary, be subject to an oral defense.
