Pedagogical methods
Les séances sont conçues pour offrir une diversité de pratiques pédagogiques, avec des exposés magistraux, des travaux de groupe et des travaux individuels afin de répondre aux différents styles d’apprentissage et de promouvoir une compréhension approfondie des sujets traités.
Sessions are designed to offer a variety of pedagogical practices, with lectures, group work and individual assignments to accommodate different learning styles and promote a thorough understanding of the topics covered.
Evaluation and grading system and catch up exams
The final assessment will consist of writing a multi-page argument, with introduction, development and conclusion, to argue a position you have taken in response to a general question on a topic. Documents on the subject will be available in advance.
Learners are required to: attend, participate, and actively contribute at all stages of the module. The final grade which counts for 100% of the final assessment, will be adjusted according to the student's degree of participation (attendance, involvement, etc.).
In the event of a final grade of less than 10, learners can be resit with a take-home assignment to be submitted.
Module Policies
Professor-Student Communication
● The professor will contact the students through their school email address (IMT-BS/TSP) and the Moodle portal. No communication via personal email addresses will take place. It is the student responsibility to regularly check their IMT-BS/TSP mailbox.
● Students can communicate with the professor by emailing him/her to his institutional address. If necessary, it is possible to meet the professor in his office during office-hours or by appointment.
Students with accommodation needs
If a student has a disability that will prevent from completing the described work or require any kind of accommodation, he may inform the program director (with supporting documents) as soon as possible. Also, students are encouraged to discuss it with the professor.
Class behavior
● Out of courtesy for the professor and classmates, all mobile phones, electronic games or other devices that generate sound should be turned off during class.
● Students should avoid disruptive and disrespectful behavior such as: arriving late, leaving early, careless behavior (e.g. sleeping, reading a non-course material, using vulgar language, over-speaking, eating, drinking, etc.). A warning may be given on the first infraction of these rules. Repeated violators will be penalized and may face expulsion from the class and/or other disciplinary proceedings.
● The tolerated delay is 5 minutes. Attendance will be declared on Moodle during these 5 minutes via a QR code provided by the teacher at each course start.
● Student should arrive on time for exams and other assessments. No one will be allowed to enter the classroom once the first person has finished the exam and left the room. There is absolutely no exception to this rule. No student can continue to take an exam once the time is up. No student may leave the room during an examination unless he / she has finished and handed over all the documents.
● In the case of remote learning, the student must keep his camera on unless instructed otherwise by the professor.
Honor code
IMT-BS is committed to a policy of honesty in the academic community. Conduct that compromises this policy may result in academic and / or disciplinary sanctions. Students must refrain from cheating, lying, plagiarizing and stealing. This includes completing your own original work and giving credit to any other person whose ideas and printed materials (including those from the Internet) are paraphrased or quoted directly. Any student who violates or helps another student violate academic behavior standards will be penalized according to IMT-BS rules.
