Different exercises could be proposed to students such as:

• published paper analysis;
• formulating research title, aim, objectives, research questions;
• writing an extended abstract;
• reviewing abstracts written by other students;
• presenting orally a working paper.

Evaluation methods

The assessment of your performance will be composed of the following elements:

• Quality of the written extended abstract听(65%)
• Quality of the oral presentation (20%)
• Quality of your review and discussion of classmate extended abstracts (15%)

By submitting an assignment for evaluation:
- you assert that it accurately reflects the facts and to do so you need to have verified the facts, especially if they听originate from generative AI resources;
- you assert that all your sources that go beyond common knowledge are suitably attributed;
- you assert that you have respected all specific requirements of your assigned work, in particular requirements听for transparency and documentation of process, or have explained yourself where this was not possible.
If any of these assertions are not true, whether by intent or negligence, you have violated your commitment to听academic integrity. This constitutes academic misconduct.
