General Information

Overview

Medical Science Research 2 will provide you with further training in research as you continue projects begun in Medical Science Research 1. This unit requires you to independently report on the investigation of the research question proposed. The final journal paper will typically contain the data analyses, results, and discussion in addition to a cogent literature review and hypotheses. It is anticipated that some journal papers may be suitable for eventual publication in an appropriate journal with the academic involved named as co-author. In all stages of the project you must adhere to appropriate ethical and professional standards.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Informal student feedback

Feedback

Addition of the rubrics for all assessments (compared to MEDS14001) was very helpful for clarifying marker expectations.

Recommendation

Revise and update the rubrics to improve the quality of the grade descriptors to enhance their utility to the students

Feedback from SUTE Data

Feedback

There was limited input from the unit coordinator during the term.

Recommendation

Increased clarity will be provided to students relating to the completion of this unit, particularly the role of the research mentors in guiding student through their completion of the unit rather than the focus of teaching being the Unit Coordinator as is typical for content-based units.
