Laboratory report | 40 | 1~2~3~4 | 8 | , WORDS= 1000 words | You are required to attend 3 independent laboratories in order to gain a range of skills in the measurement and quality control of macromolecules. You can then choose one of the experiments to write-up a lab report, but this is dependent on also having attended all 3 laboratories. |
Oral Presentation | 60 | 1~3~4 | 13 | HOURS= 15 minutes | For this assessment you will need to work within a group to research a biopharmaceutical of your choice and prepare a presentation for delivery in class. Marking is based on your individual contribution to both group working and the delivery of your presentation. |
