MSc Reproduction and Pregnancy (Research)

Students will complete a written record of each workshop in ‘laboratory book style’, to gain training in recording laboratory experiments and to demonstrate understanding and interpretation. Students will be assessed on their understanding of the experiment, the accuracy and completeness of the method, their ability to interpret research findings and consider alternative applications of method. An assessment form will be completed by the MFH staff member responsible for each workshop. The Programme Administrator will forward the assignments to the tutor, who will award an individual mark for each written assignment. All work will be moderated by a second marker.

Feedback is provided to students during the workshop (oral feedback on practical skills) and on the written report (including annotation of reports and overall feedback). Students have the opportunity to provide feedback on the unit through the University Unit Evaluation Questionnaires and in the MRes in Maternal and Fetal Health student feedback session organised by Dr Lynda Harris at the end of the first semester.

Recommended reading will be provided where relevant by the workshop tutors.
