On completion of this module students should be able to: Select and appraise the relevant literature to determine the latest knowledge developments in the subject area of the project; Manage, organise and plan their time to successfully perform the project tasks; Generate and clearly present the results/outcomes of the study; Assess and evaluate data to provide clear evidence and support conclusions; Select and present the key findings using Powerpoint slideshows; Communicate in verbal and written terms the meaning of their results and make interpretations and inferences from the findings:
Indicative Module Content:Much of the learning in the module is acquired via interactions with project supervisors, post docs and post graduate students involved in the assigned project. However students also attend a series of lectures on topics which underpin all project. A tentative schedule for these is given below:

Description | Timing | Component Scale | % of Final Grade | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Project: This component of the mark is called the supervisors mark which is based on the supervisors assessment of the students commitment to the project, level of engagement and critical thinking display | Varies over the Trimester | n/a | Standard conversion grade scale 40% | No | 45 |
Lab Report: At the end of semester the student must produce a report on lab work written in the format of a peer reviewed journal chosen by their supervisor | Coursework (End of Trimester) | n/a | Graded | No | 40 |
Presentation: At the end of semester 2 students must present their work (in the form of a 15 minute oral presentation with questions at the end) to other members of the class and staff in the Food Science Dept. | Coursework (End of Trimester) | n/a | Graded | No | 15 |
Remediation Type | Remediation Timing |
---|---|
Repeat | Within Two Trimesters |
• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
Feedback arises primarily via the interaction between the student and his assigned supervisor as well as any post graduate and post doctoral students involved in the project. Students also submit 1 st drafts of their project reports to the supervisors which is returned with corrections within 1 week. Students will also receive feedback on the content and delivery of their oral presentation prior to the presentation day.
