| Description of the modifications to the Q3 2020-2021 assessment procedures (Covid-19) |
| The "Research Techniques in Neuroscience" exam will take place during the exam session of August 2021. The "Research Techniques in Neuroscience" exam consists in a presentation and analysis of a research article from Neurosciences field published in a peer-review journal. This presentation will be done orally, in English, by Microsoft teams meeting. The student will receive by email 1 article proposed by the teachers. The student will have at least 2 weeks more to read the article and prepare the presentation. On the exam, he/she will have to present the article during 15 min max and to answer to questions during 10 minutes. |

The "Research Techniques in Neuroscience" exam will take place during the exam session of June 2021.
The "Research Techniques in Neuroscience" exam consists in a presentation and analysis of a research article from Neurosciences field published in a peer-review journal. This presentation will be done orally, in English, potentially by Microsoft teams meeting if necessary.
The student will receive by email 1 article proposed by the teacher.
The student will have at least 2 weeks more to read the article and prepare the presentation. On the exam, he/she will have to present during 20 min max the article and to answer to questions during 10 minutes. The planning of the exam will be communicated later.
