Teaching methods

The theoretical course alternates between ex-cathedra and interactive activities. They are supported by audio-visual aids and powerpoints available on the Webcampus area.
 
A reflexivity journal accompanies the entire course. Students are asked to complete it individually at set intervals, so as to be able to draw on its content during theory classes and certain exercise sessions.

Assessment method

Assessment of the course will take the form of a written examination in two parts:
 
The first part will deal with the subject matter covered in the theory course.
The second part will cover one of the subjects covered in the exercise sessions.
Sample questions will be provided during the semester. The correction criteria will also be explained.
 
One of these is the ability to write coherent, well-argued answers in acceptable French, since the teaching profession also involves written communication with students and parents.
Assessment procedures for the 2nd session are equivalent to those for the 1st session.
