Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Newspapers and periodicals, audio- and visual recordings and oral testimonies are more than primary sources for the researcher in contemporary history. The course will provide B3 students with theoretical knowledge and analysis methods which will allow them to be better prepared for the following steps of their schooling. In addition, the course will also introduce them to textometrical analysis, applied to press articles or political speeches.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The students should be able to use the theoretical knowledges and the practical competences gained during the year to realize their end-of-cycle written work and pursue their curriculum at MA level. This will allow them, after thoughtful choice, to select a subject for their MA thesis requiring the use and application of the principles evoked hereabove.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Follow at the same time or having followed the Exercises in contemporary history (I / II) is an asset.
