The ability to pass on the results of research: to write them up correctly, accurately, with arguments and/or to present them orally.
The pre-seminar deals with a theme in the history of the 'revolutionary' period (1750-1815), using unpublished documentation. The sessions require preparatory work on the part of each student, working in groups or individually. They address the chosen theme by going through the various stages of scientific research in history: problematisation, bibliographical research, heuristic approach, research into sources, organisation of the information gathered, planning of the research, oral and written communication of the results.
