By Anne JENY, Professor of Accounting. Anne strongly believes that research and teaching nurture each other, she favors interactive pedagogy in her courses (case studies, group projects, companies interventions) & Laurence LESCOURRET, Associate Professor of Finance. To Laurence, teaching is transmitting knowledge by using a mix of lessons, interactive methods (like teaching games or cases) and students/participants feedback.
