Bibliography
Varies. Specific for each project.
Teaching method
In order to develop independence in scientific research the student will work individually in the laboratory, integrated in a research team; he will prepare and search the bibliographic of the scientific research topic chosen; design the strategy to achieve his objectives and do the time management of the project; the protocols and methodologies will be dependent of the chosen topic.
Evaluation method
|
Assessment method: Final report and oral presentation (15 min) and discussion (25 min). Organization of the Jury: chair (element of the Scientific Committee); “arguente” and project supervisor. The final grade results from the three evaluation modules: 40% experimental element; 30% report; 30% oral presentation and discussion. Report: 70% by the “arguente” and 30% by the advisor; Presentation/discussion: 10% by the supervisor, 40% by the “arguente” and 50% by the chair of the jury. |
