Description

Objectives: This subject seeks to develop students skills in searching the literature, critical analysis of publications, developing hypotheses, designing and running experiments, statistical data analysis and oral and written presentation of reports. Students in groups of 2 to 4 carry out a small research project under the guidance of an academic staff member. In November each group makes a presentation to a symposium.
