Data Analysis and Information Processing in Biomedical Sciences:
A 2nd year module in the degree of BSc in Biomedical Sciences at the
University of Aberdeen.
F. Bowser-Riley, Biomedical Sciences, Marischal College, University of
Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB9 1AS.
The objective of this course (12 week, one third full time) is to provide a
knowledge base concerning methods of information retrieval, data processing
and presentation of scientific material by means of active development of
teamwork, communication and information technology skills.
The course consists of lectures, tutorials, group discussions and directed
microcomputer working sessions concerned with data analysis and information
processing in Biomedical Sciences. Following an initial period on the use of
the personal computer, undergraduates are required to analyse sets of
experimental data drawn from a range of anatomical and physiological examples.
The skills involved in the analysis, presentation and communication of
scientific information are developed further by each individual in the
context of a researched 3,500 word project essay. The essay topic is selected
within an area of Biomedical Science not previously encountered by the
undergraduate. Instruction is given in the use of library resources
(including IT based bibliographic searching techniques) and in the
presentation of scientific papers and oral communications. Progress is
reviewed by individuals within designated support groups and by means of
regular tutorials. Each undergraduate is required to submit the project essay
in electronic format, and to present a summary of it orally using electronic
media. A component of the continuous assessment of each undergraduate is
derived from a peer assessment of the oral presentation based on agreed
criteria.
