First session:
The assessment will take place online on eCampus on 31 May from 9 to 11 am. A pre-test will take place on 5 May 2021 from 1 et 3 pm
The exam tab will appear in the left-hand column on 31 May at 9am. It will consist of 10 multiple choice questions (0/+1) and an essay. You can save your essay in a text editor or upload it in PDF format. In case of doubt, it is recommended to send a copy to hassan.bousetta@uliege.be before the end of the exam at 11am.
In the essay, particular attention will be paid to the student's ability to practice epistemological rupture and to extract themselves from pre-notions and common sense. The student will have to problematize sociologically the questions at the centre of the course from the analysis of a situation in recent news related to migration, citizenship and intercultural relations.
