The Master 120 offers a dynamic and original teaching formula. The student is invited to carry out numerous educational activities, individually and in groups. These activities are subject to continuous and regular evaluation.
Many courses offer an integrated approach which is sometimes reflected in a common timetable within which the student will progress, from the same object, in the light of diverse and complementary views and practices. The student will be confronted with the views of internationally active researchers, as well as those of recognised professionals. This interweaving creates a particular pedagogical framework, based on critical analysis and involvement in the concrete world of communication and its technological, social and political issues. The courses aim at both technical performance and intellectual autonomy.
Modalities that contribute to interdisciplinarity
The specificity of information and communication sciences naturally favours interdisciplinarity. The diverse training of teachers reflects and guarantees this. In addition, students in the Master 120 programme are brought into contact with students enrolled in the Master 60 programme. The majority of these students come from various disciplines (humanities, social sciences and exact sciences, etc.). This mix ensures a real interdisciplinarity and openness necessary for Information and Communication. In addition, many interdisciplinary approaches are offered by borrowing courses from other schools or faculties, or from other universities through specific agreements.
Variety of teaching strategies (including e-learning)
Depending on the subjects taught, the pedagogy focuses on the acquisition of knowledge and analytical skills. In all cases, it aims at learning intellectual and practical autonomy. The latter will be sought more particularly in the realization of projects and work, individual and group. The use of "intelligence technologies" is one of the pillars of the pedagogy put in place: as this is a communication training course, the student is both introduced to the technonologies and software appropriate to the practices of his/her sector and invited to use them in following his/her programme. Some courses or parts of courses thus exploit the possibilities of the Moodle platform or intranet sites created for this purpose.
Variety of learning situations
The student is invited to participate in classical teaching activities: ex cathedra lectures, seminars and workshops. He/she will carry out individual and group work. The student will be assessed on an ongoing basis and on an ad hoc basis in examination sessions. He/she will also be required to complete a dissertation or internship dissertation. Finally, many courses offer e-learning approaches (provision of resources and exercises, pedagogical management, sharing and collective evaluation of work).
