Introduction to the thesis

In normal thesis there are no clases, should we?
Maybe add: research ethics, communication, and other classes to support the thesis process
Platform to sell students project to companies. Year 1 is to build portfolio. Companies might want to have something in exchange
Use Fab Academy (global) + Thesis (global) + Complementary classes (local) as a shared Master program
Find out how accreditation would work in each case

Levels of interaction: Recitations, Tutorials (on tools or field of knowledge connected with the subjects of interest), Mentoring (interaction between researchers and mentors)
