Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

In the past : A majority of face-to-face courses (podcasted) and a few "autonomous" and "distance" courses

This year : Reinforcement of this approach to encourage students to discover the subject "on their own" (in a variety of ways) and give priority to "feedback on..." and "questioning" during face-to-face classes.

 

The organization of the chapters and the slides specific to the various themes may undergo various adaptations and updates.
