| Course description | The synoptic examination gives students the opportunity to display what they have gained from the Medical Biology Honours BSc Programme as a whole, by displaying their ability to integrate knowledge and understanding obtained from different elements of the Programme. Students will be asked to write an essay that draws on different areas of their knowledge and understanding obtained from any or all of the Courses they have taken. The essay will be marked for style, clarity, and fluency, and for logical structure, and evidence of critical thinking. Credit will be given for the appropriate use of good examples to support or explain particular points, and extra credit will be given where examples are drawn from diverse aspects of the Programme. This is a closed book examination. |
