Dear colleagues,
We are now recruiting markers to help with the Year 1 and Year 2 SSC Presentations in London.
If you are able to help with this by signing up for one or more sessions, please select the date(s) below. You will be expected to mark on ALL dates you select. Please be aware that Year 1 and Year 2 have presentations on the same days but at different times.
SSC1a sessions AND SSC2a sessions will be held face-to-face in the Garrod Building.
If you need further information, please contact Ms Lisa Lewis (l.lewis@qmul.ac.uk).
Year 1 Poster Presentations & Feedback (February and March 2025):
- Topic: ‘The scientific basis of modern medical practice’
For this year’s SSC1a task, students will work in groups set by the Medical School (approximately 5-6 students per group) to produce i) an A0-sized .pdf poster and ii) present that same poster in front of a marking academic and one or two other groups of presenting students. At the presentation sessions, the student groups would be asked to mutually discuss their posters, as well as exchange feedback on the poster presentations amongst themselves and with an academic marker for the purposes of assessment.
All sessions will be held at the Garrod Building, Wednesdays 9am – 11am.
Year 2 Powerpoint presentations (January to March 2025):
- Topic: ‘How do we treat disease? Current and future treatments’
Students produce a 10-minute oral presentation looking at the current and future treatments of a chosen disease. You will be acting as the chair for a 2-hour session and grading up to 7 talks. Talks are 10 minutes with 5 minutes for discussion and changeover time for the next talk. There will be scheduled breaks in between presentation.
All sessions will be held face-to-face at the Garrod Building, Wednesdays 11am – 1pm (dates below).
