== 1. QUIZ ==


As part of the assessment for this course, your group will give a 15 minutes journal club presentation (including 3 minutes question time) in  lab 11 on 19 October. For this you will discuss a recent (published after 2012) original research article (not a review!) on stem cell biology or technology.
== 2. Group Projects ==


'''Please send the PDFs of 2-3 articles to Annemiek (A.Beverdam@unsw.edu.au) by 5 pm on Friday 13 October. She will judge suitability and select the article best suited for the journal club.'''
# Students will give a brief (informal, no assessment) summary of their project and project process in the class.  
# You will have also time within the class to make final changes to complete the final submission.
# Group projects will then be locked to prevent further changes tomorrow (Wednesday) at midday.


Please note that the best articles are found in journals with the highest impact factors: Nature, Science, Cell, Cell Stem Cell, etc). Please contact Annemiek in case you are at a loss, and she will help you find one.


During the presentation it works best if one student discusses the introduction, the second the results section, and the third the discussion section. Please note that one slide takes about 1 minute to talk through. So do not use more than 15 to 20 slides total. Please read through the following tips for how to prepare a good presentation.
I will now give each group an opportunity to give a short presentation (5-10 min) of their project to the rest of the class in todays laboratory. '''THIS IS NOT AN ASSESSMENT ITEM'''.  


Each other group will ask at least one question following a journal club presentation.


You will receive a group mark based on insight and comprehension, presentation and slide style, questions, engagement and discussion, keeping within time.
Please note the final practical will give you an opportunity to briefly present your project to your classmates. I will not be making any assessment of your presentation. This is an opportunity to discuss how you planned your project and what worked/did not work for your group.

=Presentation Hints for Student=


1. Keep your presentation short and concise. Not every detail of the article needs to be discussed in the presentation, but limit it to the bare minimum that is required to get the main message of the article across. For instance, do not go into too much detail in method sections. Not all nitty-gritty detail of the results needs to be discussed. The less info your audience has to take in, the higher the chance that they will understand your story.


2. Split the presentation up in three parts: introduction, Results and Discussion. Do not talk through the Material and Methods Sections separately!
Projects are locked from midday Wednesday 17th October.  
* I will complete the final project assessments during study week.
* This component will contribute 20% of your final mark for the course.
* The Group Assessment Criteria are shown in the table below.
* The Project Page is assessed and given a mark out of '''20'''.
** If you have made a significant, ongoing, error free contribution to the project page, you will receive the full mark given to the project.
* Each member of the group will be assessed separately for their contribution to the project page.
** Evidence of ongoing contribution from the project history (not just in the final weeks).
** Evidence of significant contribution from the project history (not just a large number of small edits).
** Evidence uploaded content conforms to referencing and copyright conditions.
** Evidence of interaction with other group members (from discussion page, Moodle forum and other identifiable sources)


- '''Introduction''' equips the audience with the information required to understand the the research, and supports the research hypothesis and research questions addressed in the article.
- The '''results''' sections consists of multiple sections. Talk through each of these sections in the following sequence: 1. research question asked, 2. assays and methods used to address this question, 3. experimental outcomes, 4. conclusions.
- The '''discussion''' summarizes and interprets the outcomes, discusses the shortfalls, places the results in the larger context of the research fields, discusses the implications of the data for human disease, and issues raised by the findings and future experiments that will may resolve these questions.


3. Use mostly figures and very limited text on your slides. Make sure that you know and understand what you want to get across. Do not use cheat sheets and do not learn your presentation literally by heart. Explain carefully. Use your slides as cheat sheets. Make eye contact with your audience and get a feel for whether they understand your story.

4. Talk your audience carefully through each of the slides and engage with the slides and with your audience to gauge their understanding. Slides are an indispensable part of the presentation. Each item on your slides should be relevant and addressed and highlighted with pointer, fingers, stick. Slide shows are indispensable for a presentation, as is the presenter. They should support and enhance a presentation, they should aid your audience in understanding.
==3. Stem Cell Paper Preparation==


5. Talk your audience through each of the figures on your slides. Figures may be obvious to you, but not to your audience unless you explain them carefully. So explain what experiment has been carried out, and what is displayed in the figure:
There will be some discussion and preparation for the Stem Cell Paper presentation next week in [[ANAT2341_Lab_12|Lab 12]].
        on the X and Y-axes
        what the bars represent in diagrams
        the tissues/cell types displayed
        the bands on Western blot, RNA and DNA gels,
        What colors represent colors in immunostainings, etc etc.


6. Please note that you only need to highlight this experimental detail that is necessary to get the main message of the figure across.
==4. My Experience==


7. Annotate the figures in your presentation carefully but sparingly. Label panels, axes, images etc so that figures are self-explicatory.
Please remember to complete you're MyExperience survey ([https://moodle.telt.unsw.edu.au/course/view.php?id=28181 accessed in Moodle]) for this course.  


8. To stay in control the presenter should flick through the slide show. Not another member of the team.


9. If you didn’t understand the articles in depth, read a recent review or even go back to text books to acquire the basic knowledge. Also, if you discuss results of a crucial experiment but do not understand the technology. Please go back to the original references or your text books to read up on this technology. You should be on top of everything you say or write up in your slides.
We have recently redesigned the course based upon feedback and the new 2025 UNSW educational plan. These changes are designed to help students learning and include:


10. Stick to your time. Don’t make too many slides. Each slide should take about a minute on average to talk through. Try to avoid acronyms and abbreviation.
# Putting one lecture online each week online to simplify student attendance and provide an alternative self-directed learning component.
# Introducing tutorials to review the online lectures.
# Timetabling face to face lecture and laboratory to be on the same day.
# Increasing research guest researcher presentation in the laboratory.
# Including new "wet lab" components.
# Adjusting assessment criteria allocation, less theory exam (50%) more individual assessment (30%).
# Introducing weekly quizzes for individual assessment.
