| Description of the modifications to the Q3 2019-2020 online assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
| The "Research Techniques in Neuroscience" exam consists in a presentation and analysis of a research article from Neurosciences field published in peer-review journal. This presentation will be done orally, in English, by Microsoft teams meeting. The student will receive by email several articles proposed by the teacher. The student will have one week to choose the article he/she will present at the exam and to communicate his/her choice to Aurore Colomar. The student will have at least 2 weeks more to read the article and prepare the presentation. On the exam, he/she will have to present during 20 min max the article and to answer to questions during 10 minutes. The planning of the exam will be communicated later. Good luck and good work!
