Contents

This course will mainly focus on failure analysis in higher education mass teaching and associated factors, from both the student and the teaching point of view. Indeed, this theme appears to be symptomatic of other malfunctions in higher education. This focus is borne by the fact that the analysis of the nature and the factors of mass student failure will lead us all along this course to question on a broader scale educational methods in the final stage of schooling
