Simultaneously, this teaching-learning approach, close to orientation, is extended to group discussion, when necessary. To provide students with closer contact with different research concepts and methodologies, other professors or researchers will be invited to share their approach and experience in these fields of research methodologies in scheduled seminars.
The evaluation is carried out with the public discussion of the Dissertation before a jury appointed for the purpose, by the legally and statutorily competent body and follows what is established in the Academic Regulation of the University of Évora.
