This unit is taught through: Tutorials; presentations and group discussions of scientific papers; attendance at, and summarising and evaluating, research seminars; and oral presentations of the students own research. The presentations are designed to stimulate group participation and generate scientific discussions. Teaching may be online or face-to-face, where appropriate.
Students will be given feedback on their presentation skills and contribution to the discussions of scientific literature/ peer research (formative assessment). Summative assessment will be done at the end of the unit and will assess: overall presentation/discussion skills (50%) (this will assess learning outcomes (i), (ii) & (v); and their Research Club log book (50%) (this will assess learning outcomes (i), (iii) & (iv).
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. MEDIM0017).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
