Mode de contrôle des connaissances :
Group project and presentation (50%): Students work in teams on a globalization-related topic, submit a written report, and present their findings in class. Final exam (50%): Written exam covering both theoretical and empirical aspects. The numerical grade distribution will dictate the final grade. The passing grade for a course is 10 out of 20. Attendance Attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to attend all classes, arrive on time, and stay for the entire session. Repeated absences or lateness may affect the final grade. Class Participation Active participation is encouraged, as it contributes to making classes more engaging and instructive. Students are expected to come prepared and contribute thoughtfully to discussions. When participation is part of the course assessment, it is evaluated based on the quality of contributions rather than their quantity. Policy Students are not allowed to bring any materials into exams, except those explicitly authorized by the instructor. Unexcused absences from exams or failure to submit assigned cases will result in a grade of zero when calculating final averages. All exams must be submitted at the end of the examination period. Communication and Grading All questions or concerns regarding grading or course policies must follow the official procedures. No direct negotiation with instructors about grades or assessments is permitted. Be aware of the rules in Université Paris Dauphine about plagiarism and cheating during exams. All work turned in for this course must be your own work or that of your own group. Working as part of a group implies that you are an active participant and fully contribute to the output produced by that group.
