According to the course plan BMED365 the second block of the course will focus on computational biomedical imaging (MRI, IMC, ...) and modelling. Between the first and second block, the students will work on their own individual project, defined by the student henself within the scope of the course. The output of your project (in the format of a digital poster [suggested template] [example using the template]) must be submitted at Mitt UiB before the end of block two, and your project will thereafter be presented to the rest of the students as a "speed-poster".
-
Pick a topic from the BMED 365 curriculum (must incorporate a computational imaging, computational modeling or an AI component) that fits your research interests or evokes your curiosity. The topic could be your own research project, a scientific article, a review of methods with pros and cons, etc. (you can ask for advice regarding topic selection or your planned talk in the early preparation phase).
-
Prepare a poster of the topic [make the title yourself] and a 7-minute presentation, like you are invited to give a speed-talk / speed-poster at a scientific meeting with a very motivated audience - but who might not be experts in your field.
-
For this purpose, make a Google Slides (or PowerPoint, or Keynote, or Beamer) presentation of 7 min duration and plan for a 3 min discussion with comments & feedback ("peer assessment") with your audience - student mates and possibly others. The digital poster you submitted to Mitt UiB will not be displayed.
-
You might also write a short manuscript or notes telling what to say during the presentation, but avoid reading directly from your manuscript during the talk, as the notes are meant for rehearsal only.
-
The presentation produced in 3. must be sent/shared as a link on the course Discord bmed365-channel before the session starts.
-
To guide the speed-poster presentation, the following criteria should be considered: scientific attitude, vocabulary, and balanced use of text, tables, and figures; clarity in presentation regarding problem formulation/introduction, methods description, results (if any), discussion, and conclusions; ability to bring enthusiasm for your topic to the audience; and keeping time. Remember to share your presentation with your peers before the "speed-poster" session starts (see 5.).
The Individual project of making a digital poster followed by the "speed-poster" presentation is a compulsory assignment for the course
Note: In addition to the Individual project, there will be a final digital home exam in Inspera (2 hours) with MCQs and essay questions (with a binary grading: pass / fail)
