Elaboration of a project on a theme chosen by the student under the tutorial supervision of a Professor from this unit or within other professors belonging to this department of the Azores University.
It is pretended that the students learn how to write an individual research paper in a rigorous scientific form on a theme of their own choice and properly supervised. Albeit the fact that this is not a graduation thesis, our scope is to capacitate our students for research abilities, initiative, bypass unexpected difficulties and incentivate curiosity on themes and sillabae that they've been in contact throughout their 6 semesters.
Does not apply
At the start of the 6th semester students must deliver an ante-project, approved by their tutor, where they summarize their objectives, methods and propose a chronogram. This corresponds to 10% of the final note. By the end of the semester and in agreement with the calendar of academic activities annually approved by the Dean, the project is delivered to the course Director to whom competes its evaluation together with the tutor. If the Director of the course is himself a tutor he must indicate another Professor from this course to complete the above mentioned evaluation jury. This is in fact a tutorial teaching approach with permanent acompaniement and with no definite number of hours of contact.
Since I am in charge of directing this course that this system has been revealed as extremely efficient and has already prodiuced many highly qualified and relevant works.
