• knowledge about the process of planning and conducting a project.

Skills

On successful completion of this course the student can:

• apply the theoretical knowledge and research-based methodologies into a practical problem.
• propose a detailed project plan.
• write a scientific report.

General competence

On successful completion of this course the student can:

• analyze, present and debate specific research subjects in light of the theoretical and practical approaches.
• discuss the subject both at expert and non-expert levels.

The first part of the course is organised into a series of lectures and seminars. Students are expected to play an active role. Lectures are given by the course lecturer and invited lecturers. Students will also be required to present papers, and discuss course themes during lectures and seminars.

2. Oral project presentation (30 minutes if a group; 20 minutes if individual) (20% of the final grade)

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course. The oral examination cannot be appealed
