Teaching Methods

The teaching methodologies are essentially active and focused on the interest of the master students. Thus, and after an initial conceptual and strategic framework, there will be space for each student to choose and develop their path, even if framed by the learning objectives. This route will result in the public presentation of the different stages of its evolution, as well as the presentation of a final written document, in the form of an article. The assessment of learning (continuous and exam) will result from the assessment of the public presentation, as well as the written document:
a) 1 individual assessment (critical assessment of a relevant scientific article): 75%
b) Oral presentation of the work: 25%
