Content
The aim of this course is to train students in basic methodology, typology and the elementary criticism of research work, as well as in the creation of detailed bibliographies and the problematization of research work.
Teaching methods
The course is comprised of theoretical lectures, as well as exercises to be done individually or during organized exercise meetings.
Evaluation methods
50% of grade based on successful completion of a series of assignments in class and at home
50% of the grade for the continuous assessment or in-session written exam for session 2 or 3
Submission of the assignments is compulsory and a condition for final success.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with academic and scientific integrity practices. Scientific integrity requires citing one's sources; therefore, the use of AI must always be disclosed. The use of artificial intelligence for tasks where it is explicitly prohibited will be considered a case of cheating.
