Assessment
Additional details
- 2 rapid-fire, brainstorm exercises (5% each; equivalent to 250 words); completed in groups of 3, due during week 3 and week 4 respectively. These are intended to help get you into the mindset of the client. The first exercise asks for a piece of medical equipment to be rethought for use within the home (considering ease of use and psychological responses to this equipment), the second asks for a co-location proposition for a palliative care facility (what could a hospice be paired with to offer new opportunities relative to socialisation and public relations?).
- 1 individual research report (30%; equivalent to 1500 words), due during week 6. You will be asked to draw and build on the research presented within six guest-presented seminars by interdisciplinary experts to identify what you think the most pressing problem within contemporary palliative care is and to provisionally suggest the types of solutions that might best address this problem.
- 1 major project (50%; equivalent to 2250 words), completed in groups of 3, due during the examination period. The major project will respond to one of the top six ideas raised within the individual research reports (as voted on by students). The artefact groups create to respond to this will be fully negotiable as outlined within the course description (this could be an exhibition, proposal for health policy reform, medical education programme, podcast, product design etc).
- 1 individual reflection on the value of transdisciplinary collaboration and learning (equivalent to 750 words). Due one week after the major project (during the examination period), (10%).
Hurdle requirement: Students are required to attend a minimum of 80% of the specified contract hours in order to pass this subject and active participation within class is expected.
