Assessment
60% of the final mark is from a set of 3 research proposals. 40% is from a term paper about one of the research topics covered in the course.
Each proposal in this class represents a shorter version of a proposal that the student could submit for a novel and feasible PhD research topic, based on the research of one of the guest lecturers in the course. The assessment is thus geared towards evaluating the students' ability to formulate and express research ideas in neuroinformatics. |
