| Supervision | The preparation of the Master Thesis is carried out under the supervision of the director of the selected work proposal. The student is integrated into the research team which proposed the work. The students will therefore participate in seminars, meetings, debates, exhibitions, conferences and other activities of the research team. The main functions of the supervisor is to convey to the student the knowledge and experience in conducting various aspects of research, from the research literature to the presentation of the work including all aspects of planning of experiments , obtaining results and discussion thereof. Therefore, the supervisor should advise and guide the student, by simultaneously monitoring the production process of work, assist in the planning and review time work and resulting report. The supervisor must also ensure compliance with the objectives, giving the nod for the presentation of work and a report of it. |
