Compulsory assignment on given topic (Kiwi segmentation challenge)
Compulsory (about 50 "simple/basic" MCQs / quizzes across the entire curriculum; 60 min duration - digital from home; at least 60% correct to pass)
-
Pick a topic from the BMED 360 curriculum that fits your research interests or evokes your curiosity (the topic could be e.g. your own research project, a scientific article, a review of methods with pros and cons).
-
Prepare a presentation of the topic as if you should give a talk [make the title yourself] at a scientific meeting with a very motivated audience - but who might not be experts in your field.
-
For this purpose make a Google Slides (or PowerPoint, or Keynote, or Beamer) presentation of 20 min duration and plan for a 5 min discussion with your audience (i.e. sensor / examiner / student peers)
-
You might also write a manuscript or notes telling what to say during the presentation, but avoid reading directly from your manuscript during the talk as the notes are meant for rehearsal only.
-
The presentation produced in 3. must be sent/shared by email to the course coordinator at latest 2 hours before the exam.
(You can ask for advice regarding topic selection or your planned talk in the early preparation phase) -
At the oral exam (20 min talk using Zoom), the following criteria are assessed: scientific attitude, vocabulary, and balanced use of text, tables, and figures; clarity in presentation regarding problem formulation / introduction, methods description, results (if any), discussion, and conclusions; ability to bring enthusiasm for your topic to the audience; keeping time.
Share your presentation with the examiner / sensor before the exam (see 5.). -
Overall grading (spring 2021) is pass / fail (previously: grading scale was A-F)
