Assessment

The programme aims to provide assessments that allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the learning outcomes by producing outputs that reflect real-world scenarios in cancer research.

These scenarios would, for example, include: 

  • poster presentations
  • scientific reports
  • grant applications
  • clinical trial assessments
  • peer review
  • communicating to lay/patient audiences 
  • presentation to pharma in a dragon-style den scenario.  

Each course will consist of 40% online assessment and 60% written assessment.  

Assessed discussion boards will be used to encourage interaction between students, to help develop the community. They will also be used as a means for students to engage with course organisers and tutors.  

Reflective E-diaries will be used, initially, to monitor student wellbeing and engagement with course materials.
