Have a basic understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of information technology and its wider application to the medical sciences. 2. Develop an understanding of the principles of database searching, using search engines, sequence alignments, molecular phylogeny, molecular modelling, protein structure and analysis and medical imaging. 3. Develop their communication and presentation skills and understand the involvement of information technology in the biomedical sciences. Teaching approach BMS2062 Introduction to bioinformatics - Semester 2 - 2016 9 Teaching approach This Unit is run on Campus. The teaching components of this unit include 2 hours of lectures and 3 hours of practical exercises per week. Assessment summary Written examinations (50%) made up of: ●Revision quiz (3%) ●Mid-semester test (12%) ●Final exam (35%) (Hurdle) Projects and assignments (50%) A pass in the final exam and mid-semester test must be obtained to pass the unit. Assessment task Value Due date Practical Exercises 33% Weeks 2-11 Revision Quiz 3% Week 2 Disease Protein Assignment 15% End of Week 4 (Part 1); end of Week 12 (Part 2) Professional Development Module 4 (Reflect on and communicate capability) 2% End of week 12 (October 21st) Mid-Semester Test 12% Week 8 End-of-Semester Exam 35% End of semester 2 examination period BMS2062 Introduction to bioinformatics - Semester 2 - 2016 10 Assessment requirements Students are required to note the Faculty’s assessment policy (item 1.2.1) regarding threshold standards at: http://www.med.monash.edu.au/policies/assessment-policy.html Students are required to refer to the policy and procedure at: University Academic Integrity http://www.policy.monash.edu.au/policy-bank/academic/education/conduct/student-academic-integrity-policy.html The procedures state that: Proofreading: The process of identifying errors and suggesting corrections to a text. This must not involve rewriting passages of text in order to clarify meaning; amending the words used by the author (except to identify the correct spelling of the word used); rearranging passages of text or code, or reformatting other material; contributing additional material to the original; and checking calculations or formulae. Academic Integrity and Technology In line with the Acceptable Use of Information Technology Facilities by Students Procedures, students are not permitted to use Information and Communications Technology facilities to sell, purchase or offer to write assignments or other assessable work, or to request help with such work. Furthermore, students are required to take steps to minimise opportunities for others to cheat by, for example, not saving work to a shared network drive that is accessible by others and not sharing work on social media sites. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in disciplinary action under Part 7 of the Monash University (Council) Regulations for collusion or general misconduct, as appropriate in the circumstances. Students should be aware that the University will monitor and act on information received about the use of cheat sites, paper mills and other online resources that promote dishonest academic conduct. If a student has been found to have used any of these sources to breach the Student Academic Integrity Policy, the University will pursue the matter in accordance with Part 7 of the Monash University (Council) Regulations. BMS2062 Introduction to bioinformatics - Semester 2 - 2016 11 Participation To pass BMS2062, students must complete ALL work requirements . Practical Results and participate in ALL the assessment tasks Sheets must be completed the assigned session and handed to the demonstrator. Pre-prepared or late Results Sheets will NOT during be marked. Late Project Assignments (Disease & Gene Report, Web Site or Professional Development Module) will attract a 10% penalty per day and will not be accepted more than 7 days after the due date. Lateness Students who arrive more than 10 minutes after the designated start time for a practical session will automatically lose 10% of the for the practical exercise. Students who arrive more than 20 minutes after the designated start time for a practical possible marks session will be permitted to submit the practical report for review by the demonstrator but will automatically for the receive a mark of zero practical exercise. Absence If you expect to miss or need to reschedule a practical class due to religious observance or another unavoidable scheduled event you and submit an application for special consideration. must contact the small groups coordinator and tutor beforehand If you miss a practical class due to illness without being able to give prior notice you must submit an application for special consideration within 48 hours. For details, see “Special Consideration for In-Semester Assessments” section in this manual. If you are absent from a practical class without receiving special consideration approval, you may complete the exercise(s) in your own time and ask the demonstrator to correct your answers, but no mark will be provided. Assessment tasks Assessment title: Practical Exercises Aligns with learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3 of BMS2062 Alignment with learning outcome(s): Details of task: There are ten practical exercises (weeks 2-11) that will together contribute 35% of the total mark for the unit. Each practical is marked out of 100. The assessment criteria, comprising 90% of the mark allocated for each exercise, are specified in the instructions for that exercise. The other 10% will be given for preparation, attitude, contribution to discussion and application (including BMS2062 Introduction to bioinformatics - Semester 2 - 2016 12 instructions for that exercise. The other 10% will be given for preparation, attitude, contribution to discussion and application (including punctuality): 0 – 3 Unprepared, poor application or attitude, and/or late arrival. uploads/Science et Technologie/ bms2062-unit-guide.pdf
