MAP-i Seminar (2014-2015)
The course will have three different constituents:
- a short course on “Initiation of Scientific Research (2 sessions);
- 4 visits to the research units connected to the PhD programme;
- 10-12 talks on target subjects of the research units that are not directly covered by programme courses.

Grading rules
Each student will need to write two two-page synthesis reports on the subject of two of the talks. The reports should be written in english, using \(\LaTeX\) and LNCS article style.
One of the subjects for these reports will be selected by the student and the other assigned by the coordination of this curricular unit (me). There will be a limited number of reports written on each subject. The assignment of subjects will obey to “first come, first served” principle.
Student grading will take in account the attendance to the sessions as well as the grading of the reports submitted.
Reports should be sent to me, by email, until 2015.02.15. (PDF only)
Plagiarism will constitute sufficient exclusion condition for this unit.
