This is a peer-based unit on which all students must select a specific clinical case in order to submit an assessed case report and deliver a presentation of that case. During this unit, you will attend cases delivered by other students as well as your own presentation, and you are expected to make contributions to discussion of other candidates’ cases. Clinicians taking this unit will give a presentation about one of their own patients. Those taking the MSc/Diploma in Applied Neuropsychology will be provided with case details.
On successful completion of this unit, a student will be able to:
Students must attend case presentations provided by their peers online and will be expected to make a significant contribution to discussion. Prior to case presentations there will be an introduction which provides background concerning the aims and assessment principles that underpin this component.
30 minute case presentation which is assessed in viva style format on a pass/fail basis.
A 3000-word case report must then be submitted (which expands upon the presentation delivered by the student). The written case report delivers 100% of the total unit mark.
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. PSYCM0069).
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.
