Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

face-to-face

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

Teaching:
If the health situation calls for distance learning, this course will be given in the following manner: deposit, each week at the time of the course, of a PowerPoint accompanied by a recording. I will also organize one or two videoconference sessions to answer students' questions.
Student work (writing a notice) will be sent by email.
The interventions of external speakers will be done either by videoconference at the time of the course, or in the form of a recording deposited in the course supports. However, I am not sure that my guests can meet this request. It is therefore possible that some interventions will be canceled.
 
Evaluation :
In the event of exams organized remotely, the evaluation will be done through an oral videoconference. This is when the student will have feedback on his work
