Description
Students will be required to conduct a literature review on a topic of their choice, which must be approved by the course instructors. Under the guidance of a faculty member, students must address the research question they have identified through an analysis of the available literature. They must provide a review of the current state of the art in their field, identifying areas of uncertainty, controversy, and unresolved questions. They must conduct a genuine critical scientific analysis of the available literature, rather than merely summarizing it. They must adhere to the conventions for writing a scientific article, including citing sources, synthesizing information through illustrations, framing the research question, and synthesizing scientific results.
