Learning activities and methodology
Monitoring of the student's progress, content, and quality of study and research will be carried out by a designated thesis advisor whose specialization must be appropriate for the topic the student has chosen for their subject of study. The course coordinator will guide and assist the student as needed. In addition to consultation sessions with each of the advisors, several in-person and online sessions will be scheduled with the student group for both the development of the project and the preparation of the defense. As part of Aula Global dedicated to the thesis, a supporting biography and guidelines for searching for resources, guidelines for developing essential sections of the project, recommendations for citing biographies, scheduling, etc., will be published. Several training sessions will be scheduled, led by expert library staff, to provide information related to the preparation of the Master's degree: information sources, avoiding plagiarism, bibliographic citations, and more. Regarding the use of generative AI tools, the instructor's criteria outlined in the Master's Thesis Regulations must be followed.
