Présentation

Modalités

Forms of instruction

Attendance and participation are essential. Students are expected to read the course material assigned prior to each course session and be prepared to discuss it in class.

The students will have to research, analyze and summarize a case over the break between the two blocks. The hours needed for exams preparation are very often subjective, also depending on how much attention has been payed to the various topics in class, and on whether students attended all classes or not.

The readings are designated as ‘required readings’ and ‘suggested additional readings’. Only the required readings are compulsory, and represent the minimum requirement necessary for participation in each class. The suggested additional readings are not compulsory, but are only meant to recommend further material to students who have time and willingness to study a certain topic more in-depth.

The course final grade will also be based on assessment of in-class participation (with one or two points added to the final mark when the student shows active participation in class).
