The EAAS Tutors are glad to present the Introductory Seminar to Research and Thesis Writing, a cycle of on-line meetings aiming at introducing students to all the different processes involved in the production of a Master's Degree thesis. Coordinated by Professor Mario Martino, the Seminar is structured into 8 meetings (see the calendar below) held by EAAS professors and students which will engage with the latest issues of research and thesis writing, allowing students to raise awareness and gain confidence in producing a coherent, well-structured, critical academic work. Students who regularly attend the meetings will gain CFUs in the OTA (1 CFU for 4 meetings, 2 for all the meetings attended, 3 for all the meetings attended plus a written assignment to agree with Prof. Martino).
The Introductory Seminar will be hosted on
Google Meet from the
