(*) Students are asked to write parts of scientific papers (e.g. abstracts, introductions) and send them to another student acting as an examiner; the contents of the text may be related (or not) to the specific doctoral project in which the student participates. A copy of the text must also be sent to the professors who conduct the course. During the practical sessions (March and April), each text will be presented and discussed together, highliting strenghts and weakeness.
