Note:
Students and supervisors may apply (in writing) for an extension on the manuscript of up to 14 days only if exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the student have contributed to unavoidable delays. If a project is not going well, or issues have arisen between supervisor/s and student, the course co-ordinator must be notified as soon as possible to assist with contingency planning.

Week 13:
Poster and oral presentation on Research Day (will be combined with Animal Science Honours student oral and poster presentation day and includes lunch, morning and afternoon tea plus Cocktail reception).

8.30 am – 5.30 pm Monday 30st October Veterinary Science, Tutorial rooms 5/6/7.

Weekly or every 2 weeks: 1 hr meeting with research supervisor per week (or every second week) & up to 10 hours
research-related activity per week during semester – this may be averaged over the semester or can be completed outside the semester timetable.

1	Define the scope of research through an appropriate literature search
2	Learn to define an appropriate research hypothesis
3	Assess and apply appropriate materials and methods
4	Learn to use appropriate techniques for the analysis of research results
5	Discuss research findings in the appropriate context with peers and supervisors
6	Collate and present research findings in an oral and/or visual format
7	Collate and present research findings in a written format

Students are required to discuss and confirm the availability and/or access to the resources required for the specific research project proposal with their project supervisor. These may include access to laboratories, necessary research and related equipment, specific software, access to any of the Veterinary Health Centres, statistical support, and other resources.

 

Students are required to review and utilise the teaching and other materials on evidence based medicine, epidemiology, clinical
and population-based research provided to them in VET SC 2500RW - Professional Skills Vet Bioscience II, VET SC 3516RW - Vet Epi, Biosecurity & EBM III, and VET SC 3514RW - Professional Skills Vet III. Students in the DVM program that have not completed these courses and have been admitted into the program based on an equivalent degree (candidates without a 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide BSc (VetBioSci) degree) are required to consult with the course coordinator.

A set of up to 6 introductory lectures on research planning, oral/poster/written presentation skills, research ethics, statistical and writing support and analysis of results.

Weekly meeting with research advisor during semester (timing to be determined by advisor and student). Research activities as directed by the individual research plan and timetable of each student equivalent to approximately 6 hours per week for up to 10 weeks.    

Students will receive a course outline and will be required to keep a log of weekly activities, findings and progress which will be reviewed by the research advisor throughout and at the end of semester. 

A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g.,
lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).

Up to 6 introductory lectures will be presented on aspects of research planning, including preparing an in-depth research budget and research plan, collating and analysing research data and techniques for presentation of research results (in an oral, poster and written format). These lectures will occur in weeks 1 and 2 and week 7 or 8, as required by the progress of the students.

Students will identify their research project and research advisor in Sem 1 and submit their proposal to the course co-ordinators for approval prior to the commencement of Sem 2 of the 1st year of the DVM program.

During the semester, students will meet with their research advisor on a weekly basis to discuss progress of research and review the student’s log book. Students will then be expected to undertake research-related activities for up to 6 hrs per week, dependent on their timetable and research-project requirements.

A one -day program will be scheduled late in the semester during which students will present their research in oral or poster format. Concurrent with their presentation, a written summary of the project will be submitted to the course co-ordinators in electronic formats, with the organization of the manuscripts to be equivalent to that required for publication in a scientific journal.

Poster presentation or oral presentation (40% of total grade). One presentation will be given in the form agreed to by the advisor and student.

In the case of a poster presentation, the poster will be in scientific format, of dimensions no larger than 90 cm wide and 120 cm high (ISO A0). Students will be required to stand by their poster during the poster presentation event, and respond to enquiries and questions from attendees. The poster will demonstrate an understanding of scientific poster visual design, organization of introduction or background, hypothesis and/or objectives, materials and methods, results, figures and discussion. Attendance with the poster will demonstrate an ability to present the poster and respond to enquiries.  Posters will be assessed using a standard rubric by 3 to 5 faculty members or invited scientist guests not directly associated with the project, scores averaged, and a grade produced.

In the case of an oral presentation, the presentation will consist of a 10 to 15 minute presentation in a lecture theatre with appropriate visual aids, and a 5 minutes question period. The oral presentation will demonstrate an understanding of study design, organization of introduction or background, hypothesis and/or objectives, materials and methods, results, figures and discussion. Students will demonstrate an ability to present the research verbally and respond to audience enquiries.  Presentation will be  assessed using a standard rubric by 3 to 5 faculty members or invited scientist guests not directly associated with the project, scores averaged, and a grade produced.

Written Report (50% of total course grade). The written report (4000 words) will be electronically submitted and handed in at the time of, or prior to, the oral or poster presentation. The written report will be in the format of a manuscript as submitted for publication. Students will receive written feedback on each of report submitted for assessment, and may, at the discretion of the course coordinators, be given up to 48 hours to revise reports for resubmission.

Log Book (10% of total course grade). The Log book will form the basis of the weekly review meetings with the research advisor and will allow continuous feedback to the student throughout the semester. The log book will be submitted at the end of semester and assessed on its organisation, clarity and accuracy to the results presented in the final written report.

Late Submission

If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A mark of zero will be allocated to late submitted assessment.
