Learning Outcomes of UE

To gain experience in the laboratory, to be part of a research team, to become familiar with the research projects and the related scientif litterature.

Content of UE

The Initiation to research is a bibliographical work and should be written under strict rules that you can find below. The work will then be read and quoted by a reporter outside the department in which the student will make his master thesis and will also be scanned by software to detect potential plagiarism. Rules: - The introduction is written in français.- It must include a maximum of 10 pages without figures and references.- It will be referenced rigorously, like scientific publications.- It will also include a full bibliography.- It should not contain any reference to Wikipedia.  This bibliographic work will be judged on both content and presentation by the promoter of the master thesis and a reporter chosen by the promoter (that can not be derived from his laboratory).
