Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching is organized in seperate lessons, each one adressing a specific theme or author.
Each lesson relies on compulsory readings. Students cannot properly understand the teaching if the haven't done the reading. Much information present in the reading will not be adressed during the teaching lessons, but it should nonetheless be known.
A file with the title and compulsory readings for each lesson will be given to the students at the beginning of the course.
Each tuesdy, students will be given (via e-Campus) the slides and the readings that apply to the next friday course. This will be accompanied by questions that will guide the students in their reading. Occasionally, short questionnaires about the reading will be given, either through the e-campus portal, ethier during the teaching lesson itself. It will help the professor to identify poorly understood points.
