| Course objective : | The goal of the course is to show how information management and communication are two important tools in the practitioner toolbox.

| Prerequisites : | None | |||||
| ||||||
| Workshops : | Two hours are used for the explanations needed to start creating a web site on a vet subject. The remaining hours are devoted to the development of the site, with the help of the assistants. The use of the spreadsheet is also illustrated with examples and exercises. | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | Four lectures, of one hour and a quarter each, are given. A session is then organized in the computers room of the faculty. During this computer session, details are provided about Internet, the faculty network, e-mail, search engines, and html editors. In the second part of the session, students have the possibility to choose a veterinarian oriented subject, to search for information on the subject, and to start to build a web site containing the obtained information. More sessions are organized especially for students facing computers problems. Also, spreadsheet exercises are also given. | |||||
| ||||||
| Written notes : | Theoretic notions, along with practical details, are gathered in a web site, continuously available to the students on the faculty intranet. | |||||
| ||||||
| Assessment : | The final evaluation takes place at the end of the first quadrimester. The principle is to provide a web site (on a subject previously agreed upon), and to explain the inner workings of the site. The web site will have been at least partially developed during the practical sessions. Furthermore, a problem is to be solved with the use of a spreadsheet. | |||||
