| Course description |
This course is for students in the MSc year of the 1+3 year MSc/PhD Doctoral Training Centre programme in Neuroinformatics. This course can only be chosen by students who have sufficient Neuroinformatics background to justify exemption from studying most of the programme's 10 point specialist courses, such as NC, NIP, CNV and CCN, and is subject to concession by the School. The project can be on the same topic as the larger Neuroinformatics Dissertation, but does not have the restriction to have an experimental component. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1 - Demonstrate the capacity to undertake a research project in the Neuroinformatics field.
2 - Demonstrate the capacity to review the literature in an area of Neuroinformatics and demonstrate this by writing an accurate and coherent review of the area.
3 - Demonstrate the capacity to report the design, implementation, execution and analysis of the research in a short dissertation of at most 15,000 words.
|
Assessment Information
| The course will be assessed by a written report of less than 15000 words, which will be independently marked by the project supervisor and an Informatics staff member. The dissertation will be marked using the standard Informatics dissertation assessment form with scoring adjusted appropriately to take account of the shortened timescale. |
