Educational formula

A summary sheet is put online a few days before each session. It describes the latter’s content, the notions, and concepts associated with the theme and the resource materials.  The student must choose one of two to three topics to work on ahead of the session (summary or detailed plan, SAQ, essay, etc.). The session is divided into three parts: In the first, we reexamine and explain the concepts, principles, and issues by means of questions and answers; in the second part of the session, students are invited to present their work and to discuss the subject; In the final part of the session, a corrected version will be presented.
