in a university is rooted in research1. On the one hand that is so,because learning to become a researcher is a core objective of University training. However,there are also pedagogic arguments. The understanding of scientific method helps thestudents to develop a generic approach to problem situations. Students who are exposed toresearch during their graduate years will be encouraged to develop a questioning andinquiring mind and will be less likely to accept uncritically and passively the "truth" aspropounded and handed down in the lecture books and by the professional expert2.
