Learning and Teaching Strategies and Methods Section A Students will develop a critical appreciation and understanding of the philosophical and ethical basis of research in molecular biology and medical biotechnology (LO s A1, A5). The social and physiological aspects of a range of clinical conditions will also be considered, using a systems based approach, to provide a multi-disciplinary understanding of the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of patients (LO s A2, A3, A4). Theoretical knowledge will be provided, with common clinical conditions being initially introduced in lectures and as topics for self-directed study supported by online resources. Practical laboratory classes will support and strengthen the theoretical knowledge gained from lectures and self-directed study and will provide students with skills in the medical biotechnology techniques associated with Biomedical research and the diagnosis and monitoring of patients (LO A6). Group work and seminars which include problem based learning, small group tutorials, formative assessment and online support via the VLE will assist in the achievement of these outcomes. Section B Students will develop cognitive skills related to all of the above learning outcomes through clinical practice or research based lectures and self-directed study. Facilitated small group work involving case studies and selected disease conditions will assist in the development of critical analysis, the appreciation of the multidisciplinary nature of disease diagnosis and monitoring, and advanced skills in identifying and rectifying problems (LO s B4, B6). The development of a project proposal will enable students to plan and evaluate the regulation of Biomedical research and critically appraise current research including the use of different biotechnology methodologies (LO s B1, B2, B3, B5). Students will also be supported through small group tutorials, formative assessment and online support via Moodle. Section C Practical laboratory classes, demonstrations, group workshops and problem based learning sessions will allow students to apply critical analysis skills, perform a variety of medical biotechnology techniques and interpret complex experimental and clinical data (LO s C1, C2, C4, C5). Successful completion of the Medical Biotechnology Research Skills and Project unit will lead to the achievement of all learning outcomes (partially LO s C1, C2, C4, C5, fully C3, C6). Section D Transferable skills underpin each unit of the course and students will be encouraged to reflect on their individual skills and progress during personal and group tutorials (LO, D2). Summative and formative assessments, poster and oral presentations with question and answer sessions, problem based learning and discussions will facilitate the development of independent thought, communication skills and effective time management (LO s D1, D3, D4). Group work required in several of the units will improve the students ability to work as an effective member of a team and solve complex scientific problems (LO, D5). Employability skills including the recognition of employment opportunities and the importance of maintaining scientific knowledge and skills will be provided in one to one and group tutorial sessions (LO s D6, D7).

7 17. Assessment Strategy Section A To assess the knowledge and understanding attained through the taught lectures, laboratory classes, seminars, group work and self-directed study, students will be required to complete a mix of coursework and examinations. These assessments allow students to develop critical evaluation skills and engage in discussion of their own and published work to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical management of common diseases (LO s A2, A3, A4). Formative assessment is included in all units and includes feedback on draft essays, laboratory and project reports. The project proposal and dissertation will also be used to assess the students attainment of these learning outcomes (LO s A1, A5, A6). Section B Students cognitive skills will be assessed through examinations, presentations and the completion of a research project proposal and dissertation. Completion of case based and laboratory reports will assess and demonstrate students appreciation of the clinical disciplines involved in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients, the use of different medical biotechnology in clinical practice and how Biomedical research can inform future diagnostics and patient treatment (LO s B4, B5). The written assessments, oral presentations and viva s develop the student s competence in scientific expression and confidence in scientific communication. These strategies also improve understanding of the roles and responsibilities of healthcare professions in the management of disease. Formative and summative assessment of a research project proposal and dissertation will measure the students ability to identify a range of relevant research material, their critical evaluation skills and conceptual understanding of the subject area in order to problem solve and communicate significant study findings (LO s B1, B2, B3, B6). Section C Students practical skills will be assessed by observation of their conduct in laboratory classes and during the completion of their laboratory based project. Assessment of laboratory reports allows consolidation of practical skills and will provide practice in reflection and critical analysis of results and methodology (LO s C4, C5, C6). The research proposal builds on improving the student s ability to structure, synthesize and present findings (LO, C3). Ultimately this will culminate in the assessment of the mandatory research project which will be assessed by oral presentation in addition to submission of a dissertation. These assessments will be the culmination of the student s progress in critical thought, practical skill and showcase their ability to function as an independent investigator and effectively communicate their findings to others. Submission of practical reports, viva type assessments of the medical biotechnology techniques carried out, case studies and the project dissertation will demonstrate the ability to apply critical analysis and interpret complex clinical and research data (LO s C1, C2). Section D Throughout the course the students transferable skills are assessed by means of posters, oral presentations and discussions with peers and academic members of staff (LO, D3). In many of these tasks students are required to work as a team and manage their own and others time efficiently (LO, D5). Self-reflection is a common theme in various formative assessments, however the skill is also discussed during personal tutorial sessions, where the importance of professional development and career opportunities are a key focus (LO s D2, D6, D7). The project unit will assess the ability of a student to use time management, communication, practical and critical thinking skills to further scientific knowledge in a given subject (LO s D1, D4). These skills are integral to the role of a competent scientist and the performance of the student in these assessments will be indicative of their capability to function as an independent career investigator and therefore of value in assessing suitability for future employment and/or further study.
