Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The teaching is organized in such a way that each session of the course deals with a specific subject, following a logical course that addresses the work of five maor researchers.
Each lecture corresponds to compulsory readings, which must be done BEFORE the oral class. The oral presentation will be fully understood and assimilated only if the readings have been made upstream. Much of the information present in the readings will not be picked up during the oral course, but will be subject to review. The oral course will be intended to explain, develop or explain certain points in the syllabus.
The portfolio of readings is available from the beginning of the course first as a file to be uploaded, then in a printed form. In addition to the texts that are required reading, it contains a presentation of each session and a table of contents. It is designed so that students always know what readings should be done for each session.
The course also includes watching a movie and, if we have the time, some other communication sequences.
At the beginning of the week, students will receive the slides of the course of the session of the following Friday as well as a reminder of the reading to be done. They will also receive reading assistance in the form of questions that will guide them to the important aspects of the text and guide their work.

This written support is available in printed form to university presses. Support written in electronic form will be downloadable from a link that will be communicated to students via a new MyULiege.
The reading of these texts is MANDATORY and the students are likely to be questioned on all the matter which is presented there (see above: methods of teaching).
It is recommended that students obtain the printed version of these texts, as reading a text carefully means annotating it.

The slides showed during the course will be available on the MyULg portal.
