Year 1 Recorded Poster Presentations & Feedback (February and March 2024):
- Topic: ‘The scientific basis of modern medical practice’
For this year’s SSC1a task, students will work in groups to produce a pdf poster and an mp4 video recording of themselves orally presenting that same poster in preparation for a detailed feedback session with a marking academic and one other group of presenting students. At the feedback session, the two student groups will be asked to mutually discuss their posters and pre-recorded poster presentations, exchanging feedback with peers and an academic marker who will mark BOTH groups in that single session for assessment.
The scope of this task is to create an opportunity for the exchange of high quality dialogical (verbal) feedback: conversational feedback where students are able to watch themselves present their work, discuss how it went and self-evaluate their performance to facilitate better learning. To this end, the task is designed to facilitate the exchange of enriched feedback, critical debate and reflective discourse among student presenters, their peers and their academic marker regarding the content and delivery of their group poster presentations.
All feedback sessions will be held ONLINE, Wednesdays 9am – 11am.
Year 2 Powerpoint presentations (January to March 2024):
- 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).
