Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

Participating in the course and attending classes with a hard copy of the syllabus are vital to the learning process.

Regarding the use of language-generating artificial intelligence:

Unless specific instructions are given by the teacher within the framework of well-defined activities, the ULiège Charter on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Academic Work applies.

There will be two groups for this course: A(msterdam) and B(russel).

You must stay in the same group the whole year.

These groups are the same level but take place at different moments. See your CELCAT timetable https://my.horaires.uliege.be/ .
