Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Personal work or in the research group of the supervisor. Meetings with the supervisor.

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

The covid crisis will have an influence on the progress of activities in the field or in the laboratory in the event of (partial) lockdown. It will also influence the methods of supervision. The agility and creativity of promoters and students will also determine the concrete impact of these constraints on the TFE. An extension of the session and / or a reorientation of the TFE (e.g. adaptation of the experimental design or change of the study site) could be considered. Realism and pragmatism on the part of promoters, students and evaluators will be requested. Good communication between all actors concerned will be necessary.
 

Recommended or required readings

Literature research as a function of the topic of the master dissertation.
