Learning unit contents
This seminar aims to cover the multiple facets posed by environmental issues and to respect its complexity
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim is to open the field of environmental questioning in term of its "integrated" character, i.e. by giving equal space to each of its protagonists. This seminar is centred around case studies.
It aims to make the student aware of interdependence, but also the contradictions which can exist between different facets (scientific, technical, regulatory, socio-economic) of an environmental issue.
It aims to address specific information on an environmental issue, i.e. information of a heterogeneous, fragmented and incomplete nature.
The seminar is based on articulating skills through group and individual work.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
A good knowledge of French is an asset
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The principle upon which this course operates is that of switching between several activities: plenary sessions with the help of external collaborators and actors in the issue, a field trip and work sessions in small groups aiming to revise and discuss.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
Additional information:
This seminar takes place in the second semester of the first year (core curriculum) of the Masters in Environmental Sciences and Environmental Management.

Continuous assessment
Additional information:
Assessment is carried out through a committee of supervisors. It is based upon an assessment of individual work (written report, daily summary, an exam in june) and group work (assessment of group work and oral presentation).
Notice : due to the collective dimension of the work to be carried on, the student's participation and attending to learning activity is mandatory and taken into account for student's assessment.
The June exam consists of an open-book written exam (reflection question).
These methods can be adapted according to the health context. Students will be informed if necessary.
The overall score is made up
- a grade for individual work (25%)
- a grade for group work and group presentation (25%)
- a grade for the exam (50%)
An absence from the written exam will result in an overall grade of A.
During the second session, the grades for individual work (25%) and group work (25%) remain acquired.
