Assignments
Neuroscience research proposal
No need to present but more hustle to write
OR
Presentation on a neuroscientific topic
Easier to write, but you will have to present in front of your
peers on the 13th of December
Deadline 3.11. (IS-> Study materials-> Homework Vaults->
Assignments) you will get feedback by 24.11., and you will have a
chance to resubmit by 4.12.
Requirements to pass the course
Reading: 1-3 papers prior to each block; fill in an online questionnaire on
each paper
Writing:
a neuroscience research proposal: knowledge of the topic, relevance,
feasibility and methodology will be evaluated
presentation of a neuroscientific topic: knowledge of the topic, clarity,
information value and the presentation skills will be evaluated
Attendance: absence on 1 block, if you need to skip it, you will be asked
to write an additional easy assignment, let me know in advance!
