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.
