Oral presentation and a written exam
Courses and exercises, lectures and workshops
The Learning Unit alternates theory and research practice through a series of thematic sessions.
1. Workshops
Each workshop begins with a lecture from a student freshly graduated with a brilliant thesis. Following this, discussion groups of 4/5 students are formed to investigate their own research around a specific medium. :
- research through images
- research through words
- research through questioning
- research through case study.
2. Courses
Each course begins with the presentation of the subject matter by teachers and continues with an exercise that asks the student to apply it to his own work.
- understand the thesis issues
- choose a workshop adapted to a specific subject/path/approach
- develop scientific thinking (problems, questions, perspectives)
- create reading records, bibliographies, figures appropriately credited.
3. Presentations
Each student presents the current state of his research :
- formulate the main question in a clear and pertinent manner (state of the art)
- propose a work schedule (introduction, development, conclusions and perspectives)
- choose one's sources.
