Completion of M2 module (research track).
The student will have a director among lecturers of the master. Within the first weeks of the semester (see Bibliography), the student must choose one of the topics proposed and reach an agreement with a director. If the director does not teach in the master, it will require a tutor. The draft final project must show that the student is rady to develop the subject on a solid documentary base.
Acceptance will be reflected in the registration form, completed and signed by both parties. It will be presented by the student to the coordination in the second tutorial. Given the choice of students and availability of tutors, the coordinators may assign a theme and a mentor among teachers who have few students.
Students will develop the project for their Master's thesis.
The student must develop the project for the Master's thesis, including:
a) a statement of the state of affairs: to present and discuss the treatment of the subject by other historians, using the appropriate literature
b ) a proposed work: in addition to aim a descriptive title, justify the choice of subject, stating the assumptions or working hypotheses, detailing the objectives to be achieved, identify the sources and methodology of analysis, tentatively describe the structure of master Thesis work and propose a timetable
The project will consist of a maximum of 3,500 words, including bibliography.
Sessions

The project report will be delivered to the coordinators within the deadlines set by the calendar. Reports that do not have the director's approval will not be subject to evaluation. Students need to do both the oral presentations and submit the written report in order to be assessed.
The director will submit a proposal of qualification (quantitative note from 0 to 10 with a decimal) and a small report of justification.
The coordinators of the module will also assess both the oral presentations and the written version.
The qualification of the project will be the average of the qualification of the director and that of the coordinators of the module.
Once the written project is delivered, a date and time will be set for the corresponding review.
This module does not incorporate single assessment.
This subject entirely prohibits the use of AI technologies in all of its activities. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
