Learning objectives

We will focus on how to present a research question in a way that catches the reader's attention, what sources to use when looking for information to back up research questions, and how to plan, draft, and revise a project proposal. We will also address how to find, organize, and review useful sources from the most important scientific databases and discuss the good practices and fundamental issues of writing a project proposal through exercises in small groups and peer-tutoring. Critical aspects of the project evaluation process will be considered.

Prerequisites and basic notions
