Content
This seminar aiming at developing communication and vulgarisation skills requires students to choose between several proposed topics in the field of psychology in order to deepen their knowledge of one topic through two different productions.
This seminar aims to enable students to develop their ability to communicate and transmit scientifically validated information on a topic in the field of psychology to a non-initiated audience.
The seminar is designed to develop the student's ability to interact with peers in a group setting, as teamwork is inherent to the profession of psychology. This competence is therefore essential to the psychology curriculum.

Teaching methods
The seminar is an opportunity for students to develop a dissemination resource for a specific audience, based on a theme proposed in each group, supervised by an assistant. This resource is developed by small groups of students.
The seminar sessions enable the group to prepare this resource, to build it on the basis of an in-depth theoretical study of the chosen topic in order to target a theoretically relevant and well chosen tool to reach the audience targeted by the dissemination tool.
The tool or resource developed (the form of which leaves creative freedom to the students) is to be presented in December to the teachers, other students and some professionals who are invited for the event.

Evaluation methods
The overall grade corresponds to (1) a weighted average of the grade for the "vulgarisation" assignment (45%) and the grade for the technical report (50%), multiplied by a correction coefficient for group participation, and (2) a grade out of 1 based on participation in mandatory sessions and in the evaluation of group functioning.
The correction coefficient for group participation is calculated on the basis of the relative participation indicator extracted from the evaluation using the DYNAMO tool.
It is no longer possible to join a group from Week 5 of Q1 onwards. If the absence during the first four weeks is justified, the student concerned may join the seminar in Q2, with a grade that will count toward the June exam session. In other cases, the assignments are postponed to the September session, with the possibility to follow the training process in Q2.
In the event of failure in the January session (or the June session for students on OUT mobility during Q1), the assignments (vulgarisation and technical report) may be resubmitted in the September session. In this case, the overall grade corresponds to a weighted average of the grade for the vulgarisation assignment (50%) and the grade for the technical report (50%), multiplied by a correction coefficient for group participation.
The correction coefficient for group participation is calculated on the basis of the relative participation indicator extracted from the evaluation using the DYNAMO tool.
- If the DYNAMO relative participation indicator is greater than or equal to 0.85, the correction coefficient is 1. This means that the student receives the same grade as the group grade.
- If the DYNAMO relative participation indicator is below 0.85, the correction coefficient is calculated as: [group grade * 0.75 * DYNAMO relative participation indicator + group grade * 0.25]. This means that 75% of the group’s overall grade is reduced for the student, proportionally to their DYNAMO relative participation indicator.

Other information
The seminar takes place over a four-month period (Quadri 1)
For ERASMUS mobility out students (mobility out - for UCLouvain Students going abroad) in the Quadri 1, they need to to carry out the activity in the Quadri 2. A specific group is organised for the latter students. It takes place during Q2, from March to May. They need to register on the Moodle platform, during Quadri1 to get all the necessary information.
For ERASMUS mobility in students (coming for a Quadri in UCLouvain), they may take this teaching unit in their specific programme. But, they may be aware that the course requires group-courseworks in French.
The use of generative artificial intelligences is permitted for the preparation of group work and individual work, provided that their use is carried out responsibly, in accordance with scientific and academic best practices, as well as the guidelines presented in this course.
