Centre for Bioscience Learning Guide Series
This page brings together the ten case studies from Student Research Projects: Guidance on Practice in the Biosciences and nine additional case studies on the theme of student research in the biosciences, all are available to download individually in pdf format.
Also available from this page will be any additional material which accompanies the case studies, for example, assessment schemes, module handouts and example projects.
Links will be made live as the case studies and accompanying materials become available. |
