The objective of the seminar is to get students familiar with the methodology of master thesis researches. At the end of the seminar, students will be able to identify and apply the most common methodologies and research designs in European studies.
|
| Evaluation methods |
Evaluation is based on a very short paper (3 to 5 pages) presenting the master thesis and its research design. Presentation of the thesis by student during the seminar will also be taken into consideration.
|
| Teaching methods |
During the first year of the Master, three lectures will be given by the teacher to present the objectives and requirements of a Master thesis.
During the second year, the seminar will rely on presentations made by the students. Every student will have to present his/her Master thesis. The other students will discuss every presentation.
