Métodos de Avaliação

Grade = 20% journal club +25%L3+55% project

Team-based learning classes/Journal clubs - students will be organized in groups to discuss/analyse a specific research paper taken from a cohort provided in the webpage beforehand. The groups will discuss the paper, its results and its main findings. The discussion may involve the professor, if the students consider that of interest. On the next week (see calendar), each student submits a 3-min (max.) video to pitch the article in question. This is an individual evaluation moment. The 1st journal club is mandatory for all students. The second is optional. The best of both grades will be selected (but you will only get the evaluation of the 1st journal club after the deadline to submit the second. You need to self-evaluate your work to decide on whether you do just 1 or the two journal clubs.

Projects (P) - 1 poster to describe the project and its findings + a short written doc. explaining ONLY the results obtained (no more than 5 pages). Posters are discussed with a scientific commission of professors and PhD students that aid in the evaluation. It will be our own scientific meeting! Projects begin their development around week 3 (students will have access to projects by mid week 2 to decide their favourites). Students choose date for the meeting to present the posters.

Labs (L) 6 lab classes, only lab3 is graded, but in all cases you are asked to submit the work done in class at fénix. Lab 3 This is divided in two parts: in silico modelling and wet-lab validation. No reports needed. Students submit ONLY the tables with the final results (in the wet-lab validation, students can also submit calculations if they want but this is not mandatory). There will be a 20-min oral discussion (graded) about the submitted results of Lab3. This will aid students understand what they did wrong and aid professors knowing what students got and did not get from labs.

All practical classes are of mandatory attendance.
