Class book presentation: to examine in detail an aspect of clinical theory/ assessment/ treatment and convey this to other members of class in a clear concise manner through written production and for some students (depending on topic) by oral practical demonstration
Class test: aims to cover basic knowledge base and to problem solve selected scenarios relating to decision making in assessment/ differential diagnosis and treatment planning.
Case Management Plans: Assess the students ability to apply the knowledge they have learned and PBL techniques, in order to appropriately diagnose and plan treatment for a new case.
To integrate and apply knowledge acquired from class sessions and group work to real clinical data in a problem solving approach.
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
