Assessment Methods & Weighting
Attend TWO BIOL 8021 MCB module postgraduate seminars of their choices (please check the School’s Upcoming Events website regularly https://www.biosch.hku.hk/events/). These seminars are usually held on Friday morning at Room 6N-11 of the Kadoorie Biological Sciences Building, during the year. Students should sign and put their name in BLOCK LETTER on the attendance sheet of the seminar room and write a report (with not less than 500 words) to the module coordinator, Dr C B Chan after the seminar. It is the students' responsibility to sign their names at each seminar and inform Dr C B Chan (chancb@hku.hk) of their attendance. At the end of the project there will be a mini-conference where students will give a seminar (20% weighting) on their research findings. This will be assessed.
A dissertation of 8,000-10,000 words excluding figures and reference list (80% weighting) must be submitted by 29 April 2024, Monday (on or before 17:00). Please send your dissertation together with a completed Project Declaration Form in pdf format to Ms. Flora Chan by email to ppchan@hku.hk. Students have to complete a formal write-up of the project in the style of a leading Journal in their particular research field which their supervisor will select. Seminar presentation and dissertation will be assessed by the course coordinator or a second examiner (70%) and the supervisor (30%).
The FYP oral presentation date is tentatively scheduled on 30 April 2024.
