The following moodle archive and documents are used for a course entitled Research Desing in Political Science (or in french Séminaire du Travail Universitaire). The course structure is oriented to competencies rather than to knowledge (methodology class). In order to help students to acquire and practice those competencies, we organize 3 types of exercices: critical reading, critical writing and critical evaluation. In addition to the exercises, students have to pass a mutiple choice exam (MCQ) about a peer review of a research paper (they have to read the paper/article 72 hours before the exam) and answer to MCQ. Each course is a organized as the following: 30' of activity debriefing, 60' explaining main topics about research desing and 30' about outcomes for next exercise.
