Learning outcomes

Use of the skills and know-how acquired in previous lectures in the context of scientific research project.

Select the most important elements for a research presentation.

Goals

Illustrate scientific research by concrete examples.

Enable the students to accompany research teams during several days

 

Content

  • Presentation of research topics and visits to the five laboratories of the physics department for all students enrolled in the UE, during the first two weeks of Q2.
  • Thereafter, each student will spend time in 2 successive laboratories, working on a research topic.
  • Research topics will be proposed during the first two weeks (3 themes per laboratory). One subject will be chosen by the student (*) and the other will be chosen at random, in a different laboratory from the first subject. 
  • For each subject selected, the student will spend 4 days in the host laboratory.

(*) When making their choices, students should consult each other to ensure a balanced distribution of students between laboratories. The choice will be validated by the holder of the UE. Practical information will be explained in due course.

 

Teaching methods

Visit of the research labs during a total of 8 days, supervised by researchers.

Assessment method

The evaluation takes into account, the participation to the visit of the lab, the written reports and the oral presentation (off-session).
