General comments about the planning: | This course schedule is APPROXIMATE. It could vary throughout the academic course due to teaching needs, bank holidays, etc. A weekly schedule will be properly detailed and updated on the online platform (Campus Virtual). Note that all the lectures, practice sessions, exams and related activities performed in the bilingual groups will be entirely taught in English. This tentative scheduling could be modified due to unexpected issues The subject is taught in three weekly sessions of 1.5 hours. |
