1. Critically evaluate and synthesise relevant evidence from multiple sources.
2. Demonstrate research and practical competencies aligned with the research placement.
3. Plan and conduct experimental activities in the context of a research placement.
4. Analyse and interpret project results correctly and in context.
5. Demonstrate effective written and oral communication skills.
6. Demonstrate professional behaviour and work effectively in teams within a research group setting.
7. Demonstrate awareness of ethical and cultural issues that arise in health science research and
practice.

No single textbook covers the material to be considered during this course. All students are required to review the literature that is relevant to their project. Students will have access to bibliographic databases and peerreviewed journals and relevant software for analysis.

Students will be referred to relevant library guides.

The teaching and learning in this course are facilitated by:

Placement: The students will select three research areas of interest and will be placed with a supervisor
aligned with their preferences. Each placement group will consist of 1-3 students. Approval to choose some
specific projects may also require supervisor acceptance of individual students. Students are expected to
spend 2 days per week across the semester or an equivalent time in the research placement. However,
potential placements and the timing of research activities will be heterogeneous. For example, in some
projects, students may complete research work over an intensive period rather than scheduling two days per
week across the whole semester.

Practical core competencies (individual): tutor guided workshops are designed to develop wet and dry labbased skills. These may include workshops on the following:
- pipette use, accuracy, and precision
- cell culture basics
- sterile technique
- immunohistochemistry and histology basics and assessment
- scale and centrifuge use
- documentation/lab book
- dilutions and concentrations
- meta-analysis/systematic review
Students will be required to review pre-workshop material provided on My Uni.

Research core competencies (individual): Students will work through online research skills theory modules
provided in My Uni. These modules facilitate learning on, but not limited to, research practices, ethical
consideration in research and safe work practices. Students will review reading material and/or videos before
completing module related quizzes.

Introduction seminar (group): The purpose of the introduction seminar is to have students assimilate and
introduce the subject of their research. This is a group assessment and will be completed by the group of
students on the placement (1-3 students, dependent on the number of students per supervisor). Students will
receive constructive feedback to improve and develop their hypothesis, aims and experimental approach as
well as their presentation skills, which will be useful for the written reports and poster presentation.
Supervisors will support the student in the preparation of this seminar, providing key literature and feedback on
the presentation preparation. Coordinators will also support the students by providing exemplar presentations
and an online module to assist with the preparation of this assessment.

Poster and presentation (group): Students will present their final research findings in their groups in a poster
presentation at the Florey Undergraduate conference. Students will present an oral presentation and will
answer questions to assess understanding of the project and depth of discipline knowledge.

Students will be supported in this assessment by provision of a 最新糖心Vlog made “Creating an effective scientific
poster” presentation, poster templates and exemplars of posters via the MyUni course. Students are also able
to receive feedback from their supervisors on the poster and their presentation. This is an authentic
assessment for students wanting to pursue a career in research, where researchers often communicate their
work at conferences in the form of a poster.

Final report (individual): The final report will be in the form of an individual written paper.
Students will be supported through the development of a stepwise framework of preparing a research report.
The framework is designed to facilitate the delivery of a high-quality assessment experiences to students while
helping them learn and develop academic skills. The framework aims to scaffold progressive online completion
and submission of tasks related to the assignment.

Students are reminded that the overall workload for a full time student as stated in the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Calendar is an average of 48 hours per week per teaching period (i.e. semester). This includes contact and non-contact hours and includes placement, general study and research time for assignments. This course is a 6 unit course and thus represents half of a full time load. You should thus be putting in an average of 24 hours of study each week (including contact hours) for this course.

This course essentially gives students an opportunity to be a part of a research environment. This learning is then supported by online material covering research core competencies, and practical competency workshops where the content which the students come across in their placement, is discussed to enhance their understanding and learning.
