Scientific Project 2

This course unit is conducted in groups or individually. It follows the "Scientific Project 1" course unit. It consists of three phases:
• Implementation: Students conduct the experiments and analyze the results (the rooms and equipment needed for the experiments are provided).
• Presentation: Students prepare a presentation (oral presentation + a 5-page article in English) of their experiment, apply a critical perspective to it
, and present it to the sponsors, the teaching staff, and their fellow students.
• Critical Analysis: Students evaluate each other’s articles (through a peer-review process) and finalize their own articles based on the feedback received.

The EU’s objective is to have students work in small groups on an open-ended “water-agriculture” question, for which they must develop methods to address it through experimentation—whether in silico, in the laboratory, or in situ—using the various skills acquired during their coursework.
More specifically, this module aims to have students conduct research or experiments (digital or physical), analyze the results, and present them in written (a 5-page article) and oral formats.

Continuous assessment: 100%

Writing an article in English. The evaluation focuses on both the final product and the entire process (organization, critical analysis, and written and oral presentation).
