Face-to-face , first and second term, 30 hours of theory.

The specificity of the workshop lies in combining the construction of a problematized object to his translation to the use of an effective or potential recipient. In other words, the aim is to lead an action research that opens to a production likely to be exploited or spread in an external environment or, at least to interest it (idea of “the student within the city”).

Different workshops will be constituted. The subjects on whom they concentrate will be determined by each co titular and presented at a meeting scheduled at the beginning of the academic year (see valve).

The production resulting from the work during the workshops will be defined according to the chosen subject and available skills in each group. It will have to consider the actors who constitute the field of study and its potential recipients. If necessary, it can fit into a privileged relation context with a “partner” (an association, un public authority, a trade union, a political party, a profession…), without however any promise of result. The aim is to consider the students' work as an autonomous production likeable to be a resource for the actors. We call it “autonomous production” because the aim is not to respond to a direct request and, if this request really exists, it should be reworked and will not necessarily be satisfying. We call it “resource” because the produced work will serve as starting point to a reflection, or to a proper production in the partner's authority (without his necessary engagement). The form (journalistic file, research report, round table, vulgarization articles…) the final work takes will be defined according to the chosen subject and available skills in each group. Whichever the chosen form, the result of the work, the process that lead to it and the critical retrospective look will be discussed at a final oral presentation (with projection of a slide show).

Registration to the workshops will be done considering a balance between the groups. To do so, the students will have to set their preferences in decreasing order.
 
The common structure to all workshops will be:
 
o 1 to 3 sessions to introduce the themes (identification of the partners and potential recipients, stages to realize, constitution of the subgroups…);
o Work meetings in subgroups of students and regular meetings throughout the process between the students (in workshop or subgroup) and the teacher(s), starting from the asked work documents;
o Intermediate work to hand out in December (about 30.000 signs, spaces incl. by subgroup) and “feed back” by the concerned teacher(s); the content of this work will be defined in each workgroup but will constitute an important stage to the final work;
o Oral and didactic presentation begin February in front of the students from the same workshop, considering the teacher's remark(s);
o The work will be completed in the second half of the year, focusing on the “translation” to the effective or potential recipient;
o Presentation (with slideshow) of the final production in front of the students from the workshop, after the Eastern holiday, in the presence of some partners or recipients. The final result will be assessed considering the appropriateness of a scientifically constructed objet and a potential recipient (sleeping partner, partner, defined public…);
o Collective debriefing.

- A first mark (twenty points) concerns the requested performance during the year(continuous evaluation) and relies on a logbook in which will be written who does what and the reflections about the process in progress (encountered difficulties, current questioning, decisive contributions...). The teachers will do this assessment of the collective work. They may attribute a zero when the performances are missing or extremely reduced.
- The second mark (twenty points) concerns the quality of the final work. This work will be assessed partly by the teachers, and partly by a jury composed by teachers, external people related to the fieldwork. The following evaluation criteria will be preferred:
o Quality of the problematization (clarity and precision in the use of the concepts, overall coherence…);
o Quality of the obtained results regarding the fixed objectives and the observations of the teachers during the process;
o Quality of the taking into account (considering the form and the content) of the research's recipient; use potential that represents the concrete production for professionals or citizens concerned by the theme on which the work focuses;
o Quality of the final presentation (structure, contact with the listeners, timing…);
o Quality of the critical response to the realized work.

- Every student will be entitled to a second session during which the entire note will be defined again. In case of no performance during the year, a similar volume of work will be requested for September. Special modalities will however be taken for students who were absent for a long period for legitimate reasons (sickness…).
