Learning unit contents
Theory
As the course is common to several sections of various faculties (Institute of Social Sciences, Institute of Public Health, Faculty of Psychology), an attention is granted to the diversity of the school and professional courses, but also to the waitings of students.
This course tends to link at the same time theoretical topics (the large sociological theories which had an interest for the ageing-related themes) and concrete problems (mistreatment, dependence, active ageing, etc.)
Practice
The works done in this part of the course can cover various topics, among which: demographic trends, types of retirement, problems of the older workers, representations of ageing, dependence and oldest age, migrant worker, sexuality and ageing, life in nursing homes, suicide of the elderly people, ageing for female, intergenerational relations...
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Theory
At the end of the course, the student will be able to remember and will have understood the main sociological and theoretical concepts met.
Especially, he will have acquired a critical glance on notions such as the dependence of elderly people, the older workers, the representations of old age...
He will be able to argue on these topics.

Assessment methods and criteria
Theory
The examination relates to the restitution and the comprehension of the course, but also on the capacity to put in prospect the concepts seen, to bring personal examples, or a critical glance.
The contents of the slides and the concepts developed orally are concerned by the evaluation.
Written examination (if 30+ students) or oral (if < or = 30 students). At the second session of examination, type of exam to decide. Date of exam to decide with the teacher (mainly first with students of public health department where it's a mandatory course).
Practice
These works will be evaluated without distinction between the students (excepted in case of an obvious difference of implication) on the quality of the work of analysis (summary and criticism of the text), on the quality of the oral transmission (presentation to other students). As well written documents as the oral presentation are evaluated.
Each part applies for one half of final cotation. The cotation of works will not be communicated before the final examination.
