Evaluation: Students have to prepare a piece of written work which will be the subject of an oral presentation and discussion. The work should show some originality, either in terms of the student's way of summarising and presenting the results of literature, or in its way of developing less known, or even new aspects of the subjects covered. The evaluation is carried out on the basis of the quality of this written work, the oral presentation, and participation in the seminar.
