Learning reflective report (max = 2500 words) – in your own words reflect on what you learned in this module and how it will help you for the future employment (use template in appendix 7 to write the report) = 20% 10. Include an up to date CV and Cover letter in the portfolio =10% *Note: You can get help from
[email protected] on how to write your CV and Cover Letter. E-portfolio will be assessed by the ML and other lecturers – Provisional marks will be available in the Gradebook on Moodle from (both CW components) - 30th May 2023 Extra notes: · Visuals i.e. figures, pictures, graphs and tables used to help explain concepts and summarize information in e-portfolio should be numbered and fully labelled · Written work i.e. reflective report and answers to questions - must be referenced (in the text and a list) using the Harvard system. · All work included in the e-portfolio should be written in Arial font size 12 (or larger if you need to), with a minimum of 1.5 line spacing. Referencing Harvard Referencing should be used when writing short assays; reflective reports etc see your Library Subject Guide for guides and tips on referencing. Regulations Make sure you understand the University Regulations on expected academic practice and academic misconduct. Note in particular: · Your work must be your own. Markers will be attentive to both the plausibility of the sources provided as well as the consistency and approach to the writing of the work. Simply, if you do the research and reading, and then write it up on your own, giving the reference to sources, you will approach the work in the appropriate way and will cause not give markers reason to question the authenticity of the work. · All quotations must be credited and properly referenced. Paraphrasing is still regarded as plagiarism if you fail to acknowledge the source for the ideas being expressed. TURNITIN: When you upload your work to the Moodle site it will be checked by anti-plagiarism software. 15% Turnitin score is the maximum allowed.

Intellectual skills · This unit will provide the student with an opportunity to put into practice the intellectual skills acquired in levels · It will test the students’ ability to process the information that has been taught in other units and apply it to “real-life” situations. Practical skills · Develop essential professional skills in biomedical science. Transferable skills · Learn to organise their schedules to complete a given task within a given time scale and meet deadlines. · Co-operate with team members to plan and complete assigned tasks How to get help We will discuss this Assessment Brief in class.
