Teaching placements

Be a licencié in physics or an engineer.

Reflexive practical work

Be a licencie in physics or an engineer.

Organization :  
Course and exercises

The course takes place on Wednesday afternoon. Several meetings are organized with the teacher students in chemistry and biology.

Observation placements

The students choose when they carry these observations. It is recommended to finish these observations before 1 November 2007.

Teaching placements

Professor Grandjean assigns a head teacher to each student. The student plans the teaching schedule, with the head teacher and gets approval from Prof. Grandjean.

Reflexive practical work

After the microteaching periods and after their practice, a common evaluation is carried out. The student must show self-evaluation of his/her practice in his/her practice report.

Written notes :  
Course and exercises

None

Assessment :  
Course and exercises

Activities are graded during the academic year. The students present one laboratory to 1st year students in science or engineering. The students present two public lectures in a class and/or in front of the jury. These lectures account for half the final grade in this course.

Observation placements

The students write a report that is turned in with their first practice report.

Teaching placements

The head teacher grades the practice according to criteria supplied by Professor Grandjean. Professor Grandjean and one of her collaborators visits the student for two lectures. One week after the end of the practice period, the student turns in a report containing the lecture notes and an auto-evaluation of his/her performances.

Reflexive practical work

The evaluation is based on the practice report.
