The correct writing of bibliographical references is also taught.
The second part (25h Pr) is dedicated to individual bibliographical research work. The proposed subject is defined in close cooperation with the mineral resources course. A written report presenting the subjects and the existing bibliographical sources is required from each student. An audio-visual presentation of his/her work in front of the class is to be organised. This oral presentation is in English. |
