Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The teaching is organised in such a way that each class session focuses on a specific theme, following a logical path that considers the work of 5 major researchers.
Each class session has its own set of compulsory readings. These must be done either before or after the corresponding session, according to a precise programme communicated to students at the beginning of the course. These readings are the subject of accompanying exercises to be carried out on e-campus and are subject to examination. In addition, optional readings (not compulsory, not subject to examination) are also offered to students wishing to study a subject in greater depth.
The portfolio of readings is available at the beginning of the course, first in electronic form for download, then in paper form. It consists of two volumes. Volume 1: Compulsory readings. Volume 2: supplementary readings.
In addition to the texts, the reading portfolio contains an introduction to each session, a detailed outline, a graphic-syllabus presenting the entire course and related activities, and a table of contents.
The course also includes a film and, if time permits, some other communication sequences.
At the beginning of each week, students will receive the course slides for the following Friday's session and a reminder of the readings to be completed.
The course will be recorded and made available on the MyUliège platform. The course material (slides, file of readings) will be posted on the e-campus platform. The exercises accompanying the readings will be carried out on the e-campus platform.

This written support is available in printed form to university presses. Support written in electronic form will be downloadable from a link that will be communicated to students on e-campus. The course material consists of a volume 1 of compulsory readings and a volume 2 of supplementary readings.
The reading of the texts is MANDATORY and the students are likely to be questioned on all the matter which is presented there (see above: methods of teaching). They will be guided in their reading by questions and exercices on the platform e-campus.
It is recommended that students obtain the printed version of these texts, as reading a text carefully means annotating it.
VISUAL SUPPORTS
The slides presented during the course will be available on the e-campus platform as early as the Tuesday preceding the course, in a printable form allowing the taking of notes.
Students must take notes during the lecture. They must be cautious about syntheses of previous years, which do not always take up all of the material seen.
The slides showed during the course will be available on the e-campus platform.
