The class will be taught remotely, on the Teams platform, and will start on Monday September 19st 2022, meeting every Monday evening, 5pm-6pm (French time).
  • The course is composed of 2 short classes taught by different professors: for each short class, there will be an evaluation during the semester. International students are allowed to register for this class without having followed it last year, as each teaching component is independent.
