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.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course will be divided in 4 segments of 3 seances each (12 weeks).
1) Introduction to documentary ressources relating to newspapers and periodicals (C. Lanneau) and analysis method of press forms (G. Geuens)
2) Introduction to textometry (D. Longrée)
3) Theoretical introduction to oral sources (C. Lanneau) and practice of oral interviews (D. Laureys, from IHOES, et L. Van Velthem, from IHOES and the "Plateforme Mémoire orale FWB")

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
Every segment will be evaluated separately, during a practical exercise (4 times 5 points).
A weakness in one segment can find compensation in an other.
Quite contrary, a paper not delivered in good time and continuous absences during the working sessions will be sanctioned by a zero note for the whole course.
