Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

The seminar is worth 10 credits. Students are required to take two modules (for 5 credits each) in MA1 and two more in MA2 among those offered, without distinction of century. The researchers in charge of each module organize their activities following a calendar (annual or semestrial) suited to their own research regime: meetings, research in libraries, data sharing, theoretical presentations, etc. The type of evaluation is specific to each module, but the final grade is an average of the grades obtained for each module (in general: continuous evaluation and/or presentation and/or written assignment). Bibliographical information is given at the beginning of each seminar/module.
