Module C84RPS - assessment

Assessment for this module is based on three components (each contributing 33% of the C84RPS mark):

(1) a Graduate School Training portfolio with a reflection on learning outcomes, please see this example:

Outcome

Introduction to library skills [GSTL28]

1

Learnt how to use web of science. The alerting function is particularly useful.
At the end of the document, please add a general reflection on the value of the training to you personally and suggestions for any further training you feel would be helpful. Total length of portfolio for example 2 pages A4. Please list all courses of the graduate school package - 10 items. For the 12 Feb 2010 course, please list "canceled", leaving 9 courses. Out of these 9, you need to have attended at least 8. Any further course you may have missed needs to be replaced, so please attend suitable courses from the Graduate School programme and list these courses in the portfolio, in a table separate from the standard package. Please note that Graduate School credit points do not correspond 1:1 to MSc credit points. Assessment criteria: (1) list of courses has to be complete (please attach graduate school certificate); (2) portfolio needs to show that you have reflected on the relevance of graduate school courses to your training

(2) a lay summary of C84LCN research proposal, C84RPL placement plan, or C84PRO project plan; this could be half a page A4. Assessment criteria: text has to be concise and understandable by an (educated) lay person without specific knowledge about cognitive neuroscience, psychology, ...

(3) ethics coursework - a summary of C84LCN research proposal, C84RPL placement plan, or C84PRO project plan as if for submission to ethics evaluation; please follow the guidelines for submission to the Psychology Ethics committee, 1 or 2 pages with description/rationale/procedure ... plus checklist, subject information sheet, consent form following templates (form 2 is not needed)

Assessment criteria: the submitted documents need to be complete and the experiment needs to be explained in such a way that it is understandable to an ethics committee. The subject information sheet needs to written in such a way that a subject can take an informed decision whether or not to take part in an experiment.

PLEASE NOTE that (3) is "as if" for submission to an ethics committee, and the Psychology ethics committee rules have been chosen as an example. Ethics coursework for C84RPS assessment and an actual submission to the ethics committee (if needed for C84RPL/PRO) are two different things. A satisfactory mark for the ethics coursework does NOT predict an affirmative response to an application submitted by you or your supervisor - independent of C84RPS - to the Psychology or Medical School ethics committee. Accordingly, assessment criteria for ethics coursework focus on presentation and completeness, and individual feedback on ethics coursework cannot be given.

Before electronic submission, please compile all documents related to (3) into a single file (best pdf).
