The methodology adopted by the Faculty of Theology will be presented and its utility explained. The students will be assisted to avoid certain pitfalls, and to deal in time with difficulties which may crop up in writing a dissertation. Practical exercises will be held on the organisation of research material. Various skills of theological text writing, compilation of bibliographies, etc. will be proposed. Furthermore, the students will be asked to take an active role in the whole process, even by periodic presentations in the seminar group.
