Introduction to research

The objective of the course is to help students understand the exercise of the final dissertation.
We will evoke, in a first part, the background of the dissertation (i.e. the stages of the dissertation, the introduction of the dissertation, the review of the literature, the methodology, the results, the discussion and the conclusion), and in a second part, the academic form of the thesis (i.e. the main qualities of a thesis, the order of publication, the content of the different parts and the style of the thesis).

Session 1: Search for a scientific article
Session 2: Synthesis of the chosen article.
Session 3: Preparation of the Powerpoint presentation (Introduction, state of the art/theoretical corpus, methodology used, results obtained, discussion).
Session 4: Presentation of the scientific article.
