The seminar consists of individual consultations between the doctoral candidate and their supervisor, during which the student clarifies the topic, relevant literature, methodology, and content of the dissertation. It also involves presenting preliminary research findings and defending them through scholarly debate within a group of doctoral candidates, as well as critically assessing and commenting on the research and presentations of other doctoral candidates. The objective of these seminars is to present preliminary research findings, monitor adherence to the dissertation project timeline, propose solutions to problems encountered during the research, and refine the research direction and methodology. This process incorporates feedback not only from the student's own supervisor - provided during regular individual consultations - but also from other supervisors and fellow doctoral candidates during the joint seminar sessions. Furthermore, students strengthen and deepen their knowledge and skills regarding the execution and presentation of research projects, linguistic research methods, the critical evaluation of scholarly work, academic discussion, and the formal requirements of academic texts. Students carry out their dissertation projects in accordance with the proposal approved during the defense held as part of the "Methodological Seminar for the DSP in Romance Languages 2" in the first year, while also addressing any feedback received during that project defense. Students consult regularly with their supervisor, who monitors the progress of the dissertation project. Furthermore, the student participates in a seminar, for which they must prepare - based on a review of the written work, as well as any accompanying lecture or presentation - at least one question or comment regarding the methodological, substantive, or formal aspects of each of their colleagues' contributions. If necessary (e.g., in the event of a doctoral student traveling abroad), it is not mandatory to adhere to the recommended sequence of seminars or the suggested semester.
