Description
Teaching takes the form of a project based on an essentially bibliographical approach. This is a study of epistemology and the history of science, focusing on the work of a scientist in the Life Sciences or Earth and Universe Sciences. The student must highlight the key points of the scientist's work, placing it in the scientific-historical-political context of his or her era, highlighting advances and controversies, contributions to science and interests in scientific mediation. At the end of their work, carried out under the responsibility of a tutor, students produce a written dissertation, a poster and an oral presentation.
