Prerequisites : English Level A (first year's course).
Workshops : The course features weekly sessions (duration: 2.00 hours). Each session requires a long preparation which is essential and mandatory. There are no ex cathedra lectures but rather language workshops in which students will be asked to take part regularly and actively.

Together, active participation, oral presentations and written assignments during the year account for 30% to 40% of the final grade.
Organization : Written exam in January with (a) multiple choice questions on a lecture and a sight text presenting new information on one of the subjects discussed in workshops, and (b) several written tasks.

Continuous assessment based on oral presentations and written assignments during the year.

Students must demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the general scientific vocabulary, their ability to read and understand a wide selection of scientific papers in English (global and detailed understanding), to do research on and present scientific information in a consistent way. They will also have to demonstrate an ability to accurately understand data presented orally.
Written notes : Course book available at AESS.
