| FORMAT | Before a session, each student will have have been allocated to
one of 5 instructor-led sections. (The instructors will rotate each week,
so each student will be exposed to each instructor at some point in the course) Those students tasked with ... Designing a study to address the topic will outline their ideas, using a pre-prepared ppt. slide. The others in the section (and the instructor) will give their feedback. ... Examining the Abstract will (via ppt. slides) summarize it and (via another slide) list the issues the abstract raises. ... Reading the Methods (and Results) will have made a list of what they liked and did not, and ÔrespondÕ to the questions/criticisms raised by the ÔAbstract-onlyÕ students. From week to week, each studentÕs task will rotate, so over the 6 weeks, each student will have 2 occasions to contribute to the each task. In so far as is possible, each student will work with a different set of students each week. |
