Oral presentation of group projects part 1

There will be no short answer/multiple choice test this week and next week due to time constraints

However, please arrive on-time as we need the whole 2 hours to complete the oral presentations

Dividing the tasks

The oral and written reports should be divided into 3 equal sections.

  1. Developmental abnormalities of the disease, diagnosis and human genetics
  2. Genetics of the relevant mouse mutants and the resulting developmental abnormalities
  3. Using the mouse mutants to understand the developmental, cellular and molecular basis of the disease

Each member of the group should assume responsibility for one of these sections. The marks will be divided into 2 parts. A mark for the overall project and a mark for the section for which you have taken responsibility. Therefore, it is important to edit each others work and ensure that the overall product is integrated and well finished. Each person should identify which section they have taken chief responsibility for.

Groups that only have 2 members should divide their work by one student taking responsibility for part 1 and the other part 2, then part 3 should be shared equally. During the oral presentation, only one student should present part 3.

The selected topics will be updated when they have been chosen
