| Assessment : | The student will receive, min. 15 days before the oral examination, a scientific paper about the pratical use of concepts reviewed during the course. He will be asked to perform a bibliographical research to further illustrate some key notions and will have to present it during oral examination. A theoretical question will complement the oral examination | ||||||||
