Teaching method
The curricular unit consists of tutorial guidance sessions, with a focus on responding to students' needs and solving problems throughout the development and implementation of the research.
Group guidance sessions will involve moments of exposure and discussion around the students' work. Some sessions include the presentation of students' progress. Other methodologies may be incorporated according to identified needs.
Individual guidance will be provided by an ENSP professor, and an external supervisor may also be appointed. It is up to the guidance team to designate the best methodologies to achieve the objectives according to the needs and characteristics of each student.
The evaluation focuses on the dissertation document, prepared in accordance with ENSP's standards for preparing academic work. The dissertation will be subject to public discussion.
