Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

The course is designed to introduce students to the sociological study of society. Sociology focuses on the systematic understanding of social interaction, social organization, social institutions, and social change. Major themes in sociological thinking include the interplay between the individual and society, how society is both stable and changing, the causes and consequences of social inequality, and the social construction of human life. Understanding sociology helps discover and explain social patterns and see how such patterns change over time and in different settings. By making vivid the social basis of everyday life, sociology also develops critical thinking by revealing the social structures and processes that shape diverse forms of human life.

Compétences à acquérir :

• Show the relevance and reality of structural factors in social life
• Place an issue in a larger context (identify systemic elements; identify stakeholders; list unintended consequences)
• Describe, explain, and predict aspects of social problems
• Debunk individualistic explanations of behavior and identify social patterns
• Recognize the difference between dispositional and sociological explanations
• Recognize the difference between empirical and normative statements
• Identify and offer explanations for social inequality
• Analyze labor force issues
• Perform a content analysis of texts or news to identify possible sources of bias
• Critique the media

• Interpret descriptive statistics
• Evaluate the methodological processes and limits of research (e.g., bias, generalizability)
• Critically assess web sites and electronic resources
• Set up a data table properly and read and interpret a table correctly
• Distinguish levels of analysis
• Posit intervening factors and spurious relationships in social life
• Show awareness of probabilities and contingencies

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course focuses on the crucial macroeconomic concepts: gross domestic product, economic growth, inflation, the interest rate, unemployment. First, the course examines how economic agents relate by analysing national accounts. Then, there is an investigation onto the causes of long term growth. This is followed by a study of the financial sector. With all these instruments, there is an analysis of the determinants of aggregate supply and aggregate demand distinguishing between the short-run and the long-run, with a special focus on how monetary and fiscal policy work. The course finishes with a study of the recent financial crisis.

Compétences à acquérir :

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

Financial accounting plays a crucial role in the allocation of resources in the economic system while the information that it facilitates is used by a wide number of different agents in their respective decision-making processes. The objective of the course is to enhance students' ability to capture economic transactions using the accounting system and to elaborate compact information about the firms' value and the wealth created by the firm in a given time period. In addition to preparing this information, students should be able to understand and interpret this information as it is provided in the firms' statements (i.e. balance sheet, income statement and the notes).

Compétences à acquérir :

Cet enseignement vise à fournir aux étudiants une culture comptable suffisante pour intégrer les grandes évolutions du capitalisme. La comptabilité est ici perçue comme étant l’instrument du capitalisme financier. Pour cette raison, une dimension historique et comparative est largement ancrée dans l’enseignement.Cette approche ne fait pas l’économie de l’apprentissage des techniques comptables visant à enregistrer les flux économiques et financiers qui traversent l’entreprise. L’idée est de bien faire comprendre qu’un résultat comptable est une construction sociale, fruit de tensions entre acteurs aux intérêts divergents (actionnaires, salariés, Etat,…).La dimension internationale fait partie intégrante de l’enseignement car les systèmes comptables continentaux et anglo-saxons sont systématiquement mis en perspective et discutés.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to political science. The course, in broad terms, comes in two halves. The first part deals with different aspects of international politics most relevant to the Euro-Atlantic area, examining shifts in the European security environment as well as the institutional mechanisms for managing competition amongst nation-states in the contemporary world. Here, the aim is to furnish students with an understanding of the way in which international relations have evolved since the end of the Cold War. The second part deals more directly with the foundations of political organisation, critically evaluating with students key concepts such as democratic govoernance, freedom and social movements. Focusing on political order in the domestic and international contexts, this course explores the nature of political organisation and the causes of conflict. It is a course in its own right to reflect on the political underpinnings of the contemporary European states system. But it also serves as a foundation for more specialised courses in Political Science/ International Relations at the graduate level.

Compétences à acquérir :

This module introduces the principles of political organisation in both domestic and international politics. By the end of this course, students will have acquired the empirical knowledge, theoretical understanding and transferable skills necessary to analyse, explain and evaluate institutions, politics and legitimacy. Students should further be able to discuss critically, and write knowledgeably, about major issues in politics. At the end of the course, students should be able to think, talk and write in an informed, critical and theoretical manner about on-going developments in political organisation in domestic and international system.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

The course aims at providing the fundamental macroeconomics theories with a specific focus on the description of a general equilibrium and the consequences of economic policies on economic growth and unemployment. The IS-LM/AS-AD model will be developed in both a context of perfect and imperfect competition. Impact of economic policies will then be studied under different time horizons highlighting the degree of rigidity of prices and wages. Shock of demand (mainly fiscal policy, monetary policy and mixed policcy) and shock of supply (productivity, variation of wages) will be simulated through numerical exercises and multipliers computations. A significant portion of this course is dedicated to quantitative modelling and chart analysis as support of key economic concepts.

By the end of this module, students will have demonstrated:

Knowledge

1. An ability to describe in details the interelations between the different types of markets (goods market, monetary markets, securities markets, labour markets) and to comprehend by which mechanism a general equilibrium could be achieved. 2. An ability to analyse the consequences of economic policies (especially monetary, fiscal and mixed policies) under different time horizons (short, medium, long term). 3. An ability to compare a situation of imperfect competition and a situation of perfect competition on the determination of a general equilibrium and the implication on the efficiencies of economic policies in the two contexts. 4. An ability to understand how productivity gain and change in real wage would impact the general equilibrium, especially in the good and labour market.

Financial accounting plays a crucial role in the allocation of resources in the economic system while the information that it facilitates is used by a wide number of different agents in their respective decision-making processes. The objective of the course is to enhance students' ability to capture economic transactions using the accounting system and to elaborate compact information about the firms' value and the wealth created by the firm in a given time period. In addition to preparing this information, students should be able to understand and interpret this information as it is provided in the firms' statements (i.e. balance sheet, income statement and the notes).

Compétences à acquérir :

Cet enseignement vise à fournir aux étudiants une culture comptable suffisante pour intégrer les grandes évolutions du capitalisme. La comptabilité est ici perçue comme étant l’instrument du capitalisme financier. Pour cette raison, une dimension historique et comparative est largement ancrée dans l’enseignement.Cette approche ne fait pas l’économie de l’apprentissage des techniques comptables visant à enregistrer les flux économiques et financiers qui traversent l’entreprise. L’idée est de bien faire comprendre qu’un résultat comptable est une construction sociale, fruit de tensions entre acteurs aux intérêts divergents (actionnaires, salariés, Etat,…).La dimension internationale fait partie intégrante de l’enseignement car les systèmes comptables continentaux et anglo-saxons sont systématiquement mis en perspective et discutés.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to political science. The course, in broad terms, comes in two halves. The first part deals with different aspects of international politics most relevant to the Euro-Atlantic area, examining shifts in the European security environment as well as the institutional mechanisms for managing competition amongst nation-states in the contemporary world. Here, the aim is to furnish students with an understanding of the way in which international relations have evolved since the end of the Cold War. The second part deals more directly with the foundations of political organisation, critically evaluating with students key concepts such as democratic govoernance, freedom and social movements. Focusing on political order in the domestic and international contexts, this course explores the nature of political organisation and the causes of conflict. It is a course in its own right to reflect on the political underpinnings of the contemporary European states system. But it also serves as a foundation for more specialised courses in Political Science/ International Relations at the graduate level.

Compétences à acquérir :

This module introduces the principles of political organisation in both domestic and international politics. By the end of this course, students will have acquired the empirical knowledge, theoretical understanding and transferable skills necessary to analyse, explain and evaluate institutions, politics and legitimacy. Students should further be able to discuss critically, and write knowledgeably, about major issues in politics. At the end of the course, students should be able to think, talk and write in an informed, critical and theoretical manner about on-going developments in political organisation in domestic and international system.

This course focuses on the crucial macroeconomic concepts: gross domestic product, economic growth, inflation, the interest rate, unemployment. First, the course examines how economic agents relate by analysing national accounts. Then, there is an investigation onto the causes of long term growth. This is followed by a study of the financial sector. With all these instruments, there is an analysis of the determinants of aggregate supply and aggregate demand distinguishing between the short-run and the long-run, with a special focus on how monetary and fiscal policy work. The course finishes with a study of the recent financial crisis.

This course also constitutes a preparation to the 2d semester course Social sciences and methods – Political sciences. The course is structured into 4 parts:

1. General introduction: definition of sociology, reminders of the two revolutions of the 18th -19th centuries, presentation of sociologists in history
2. Alexis de Tocqueville and the process of equalisation of conditions
3. Karl Marx and class struggle
4. Max Weber and the rationalization process

This is not a traditional class, based on knowledge to acquire, quite content oriented etc. It is based on soft skills awareness and practice, group cohesion, and quite relation oriented.

The period represents a great change for students, who are no longer at secondary school, sometimes away from home for the first time, sometimes new in the Paris area, facing high level standards in their studies, ready to look for an internship for the first time maybe, about to relocate in Germany etc.

The idea is to improve the self awareness about whom we are, how different we are, and thereby, improve the group cohesion, the ability to work in a project and relate with others in a tolerant manner, with a positive mind-set, the ability to cope with pressure if any, to adapt one’s communication when needed etc.

The under lying approach is based on the positive psychology and on the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) personality inventory.

Pré-requis obligatoire :

No prerequisites

Compétences à acquérir :

- Improve self-knowledge and awareness: strengths, values, frame of reference, basic preferences (MBTI) etc.

- Develop assertiveness (attitude toward conflict, communication skills)

- Develop group cohesion, tolerance and performance (active listening, creativity, cooperation)

Mode de contrôle des connaissances :

No performance assessment, no grade.

Yet, this is a mandatory module that requires to be “validated”. The criteria for “validation” are the following: Attendance, punctuality and commitment during the class: global attitude, active listening, useful questions or feedback and teamwork.

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

This is not a traditional class, based on knowledge to acquire, quite content oriented etc. It is based on soft skills awareness and practice, group cohesion, and quite relation oriented. The period represents a great change for students, who are no longer at secondary school, sometimes away from home for the first time, sometimes new in the Paris area, facing high level standards in their studies, ready to look for an internship for the first time maybe, about to relocate in Germany etc. The idea is to improve the self awareness about whom we are, how different we are, and thereby, improve the group cohesion, the ability to work in a project and relate with others in a tolerant manner, with a positive mind-set, the ability to cope with pressure if any, to adapt one’s communication when needed etc. The under lying approach is based on the positive psychology and on the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) personality inventory.

Pré-requis obligatoire :

No pre requisites

Compétences à acquérir :

- Improve self-knowledge and awareness: strengths, values, frame of reference, basic preferences (MBTI) etc. - Develop assertiveness (attitude toward conflict, communication skills) - Develop group cohesion, tolerance and performance (active listening, creativity, cooperation)

Mode de contrôle des connaissances :

No performance assessment, no grade.

Yet, this is a mandatory module that requires to be “validated”. The criteria for “validation” are the following: Attendance, punctuality and commitment during the class: global attitude, active listening, useful questions or feedback and teamwork.

Bibliographie-lectures recommandées

• Emotional intelligence, Daniel Goleman
• Non violent communication, Marshall Rosenberg
• Gifts differing, Isabel Briggs Myers (to understand better the MBTI indicator, and the Carl Jung personality theory)

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

Im zweiten Semester erweitern wir die Perspektive auf gesellschaftliche und politische Themen, die Anlass zu Diskussionen und Debatten geben. Dabei beziehen wir uns eng auf die Aktualität in den deutschsprachigen Ländern. Jeder Kurs beginnt mit einer Presseschau und einer Diskussion bezüglich der jüngsten Ereignisse (Politik, Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft, Sport…). Anhand unterschiedlicher Unterlagen (Presseartikel, Videos) zu bestimmten Themen wird versucht, den Sachverhalt zu verstehen und zu besprechen. Interkulturalität spielt hier eine große Rolle: es gilt, das deutsche oder französische Verhältnis zu einem Thema zu verstehen. Dabei berücksichtigen wir die Geschichte und die historischen Besonderheiten der jeweiligen Länder.
