Students who regularly attend the class (the course is made of 15 lectures, students are requested to attend at least 10 lectures) will be examined in three differents steps: 1) An intermediate multiple choice test after 9-10 lectures; 2) Small Group (from 2 to 5 people) discussion and ppt presentation on a subject which has been examined during my lectures: students are requested to bring a part of the presentation and to coordinate their presentations with those of their colleagues. Time limitations in the presentations will be fixed; 3) Individual reports (discussants) on another group presentation or individual examinations on other subjects which have been discussed during my lectures. Final individual evaluations will refer to the mean of the single tasks evaluations.

this type of examination even if they attended the class)
