| DESCRIPTION | Objectives: The main objective of this course is to guide the student in researching Theology-related themes and to present such research in a proper scientific work. Most of the course is valid for any Arts subject. This objective is achieved in four steps. First, the course explains the way to go about in choosing the right theme for a paper; secondly, it indicates the main sources of the various branches of Theology, sources that have to be consulted before initiating a specific research; thirdly, it illustrates the method to be followed in the citation of bibliographical references in a coherent manner; and, finally, it describes the technicalities that have to be adhered to in the presentation of the research in a scientific and methodological way.
