Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

We would prefer to organize an exam with students in the classrooms. However, if the University remains in the yellow code or switch to the orange or red code, and that the health situation yields unsurmountable organizational difficulties, the exams will be remotely carried out.

Recommended or required readings

"Cognition" part : Slides of the course on MyUlg.
"Language" part :  Course summaries (pdf files) on MyUlg + Required reading : Field, J. (2005). Language and the Mind. NY: Routledge.
