最新糖心Vlog

Students will be supplied with required & suggested readings, available from the Barr Smith Library or from online sources.

Access to MyUni and 最新糖心Vlog email is absolutely required, as the bulk of communication with students will be via these mechanisms.

MyUni: Teaching materials and course documentation will be posted on the MyUni website ().

The tutorials provide a mechanism for students to review the lecture material. Workshop sessions and related assessments will use examples from the lectures to develop skills in assessing the relative value of published work and the process by which biomedical experimentation is undertaken.

Students are expected to attend all planned teaching activities to maximise their chances of success. In addition students are expected to spend 2 hours per lecture and 1 hour per tutorial in revision and preparation respectively. Finally, students will need to spend a total of 45 hours in preparation for the various course assessments.

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, preparing assessments etc).

• Tutorials are held weekly and begin in week 3. 
• Some teaching activities will be held in week 13.
• Lecture topics are subject to change based on staff availability and will cover topics including (but not limited to) Aging and Disease, Biostatisitcs, Colorectal Cancer, Infectious Diseases, Obesity and Synthetic Biology.
• The workshops and continuing assessment tasks will build on the experimental design elements of the lecture content

Attendance at all teaching activities is required to obtain instruction for assessments.

Please note some assessements will be held during either workshops and/or tutorials, hence attendance at all of these activities is mandatory.

Non-attendance at these sessions without adequate reason (in association with appropriate documentation) will result in a zero mark for the relevant assessment.

All assessment tasks will be supported by extensive guidelines and detailed assessment rubrics.  Specific criteria along with a template document will be provided to assist the students in completing each assessment task. The following details describe the nature of the assessments; the specific content will be provided during the workshop sessions.

Experimental design assessments:
Part A of the Experimental design assessment is a formative task with a pass/fail attached (i.e. awarded either 0% or 5% of the semester mark).  If a student passes Part A, then Part B (the summative component) is graded out of 20%.  Conversely, if a student fails Part A, then Part B is graded out of 25%, thus is it possible to redeem those lost marks.

Critical Evaluation:
Students will be provided with a specific journal articlae along with a marked critical evaluation of that paper.  The task is to rewrite the evaluation, taking into account the feedback provided.

Online Exercise:
Students will participate in a group exercise by researching a specific disease (chosen by the students) and developing a wiki page presenting their findings regarding various aspects of the disease e.g. treatment, pathogenesis, future research directions etc. Students are expected to provide adequate literature support for their contributions and will also provide peer assessment for the members of their groups with regards to their contributions to the wiki. Note that there will be a specific training session on the use of Wikispaces during the first workshop.

Summative Tests: 
Students will be assessed on their understanding of lecture content and concepts via tests held throughout the semetser. 

All work (except the tutorial tests) will be submitted online via the relevant assessment link on MyUni. Coversheets & Templates will be supplied as required. Any work submitted without the relevant coversheet will NOT be assessed. Tests papers will be collected at the end of each test period, with feedback provided in a following teaching session.

Late submission of assessments
If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that the assignment is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days late or more without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the marks available for that assignment.
