Assessment results- 1st Year General Medicine & 2nd Year Pharmacy students
Dear students,
The lists containing your end-of-year marks were posted on your corresponding Yahoo groups. Hopefully, you won’t find this “openness” or visibility inappropriate — especially that they are not low at all :) .

Student BMJ & doc2doc
When you take a break from your exam preparation work, have a look at some websites that I find both interesting and useful. I’d advise you once again to start with the Student BMJ portal and perhaps register to fully benefit from what this on-line community offers you. Their mission is described here and, among other things, they run a section dedicated to exams — not completely free of charge, I’m afraid :( , www.onexamination.com — (I inserted below a message from the editor).

Portfolio presentation & interviews – Tuesday 18 May – to be rescheduled [too]
It is possible, Teodora. Any suggestions? You may want to have a look at my new timetable before you decide. I posted an updated version of it here.
Portfolio presentation & interviews – Monday 17 May – to be rescheduled
I was informed about overlapping exams and related commitments that make it unlikely for GenMed1 groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 to prepare and present their English portfolios and take the Spoken English test this Monday, 17 May 2010. Therefore, tomorrow, when we meet for our normal English class, we will discuss new Portfolio & oral test dates.

Poster/PowerPoint Presentations Schedule – Pharmacy 2nd Year – Thursday, 13 May 2010 (13:00-16:00)
Please try to comply with this plan so that we have enough space & time for the presenters and audience. Presenters should show up in time and minimise disturbance and interruptions. Of course, if there are special situations, you may “negotiate” the time/order of your presentations. I’m flexible and so are your colleagues (I hope). However, if we drift away too much from the schedule, I’m afraid I’ll have to reschedule some teams/students (e.g. next week same day & time).

Emerging issues in PowerPoint/poster presentations (post-Monday session thoughts)
I’ve been asked whether a PowerPoint presentation – or a poster, for that matter – must have the structure of an abstract (I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that it should !?).
Anyway … in a nutshell … PowerPoint presentations do not need to have a standard structure. Any structure is good if it makes the presentation attractive (i.e. it captures the attention of the audience) and effective (i.e. it achieves the intended effect, for example, to convince somebody to do/buy/accept something). But there is a certain logical and chronological order in a PP presentation: for example, it has a title & author(s) page, an agenda slide which informs the audience how you structured the presentation; an introduction of the topic, a body of the presentation and of course, conclusions and references (of course, if you read through the handouts and check some of the links I’ve given in class you may find out more).

Happy [Easter] holidays !

English classes timetable – 2nd Term
Here’s the timetable of the English practical course for the second semester — General Medicine & Pharmacy students. Click here to view it .
MG1 – No written test at the end of the 1st term :)
There will be no written test in English this term. Just keep developing your portfolios. We’ll talk about it at the beginning of the 2nd term.
Good luck with your exams and tests!
Important !
Before the winter holiday, I asked MG 1 students about the possibility of scheduling the end-of-term English test in the second week after the beginning of classes, i.e. 11 – 15 January 2010. Some of you agreed, others were not very happy about that, because of other overlapping pre-session exams. We need to set a time and a date when we meet after the holiday. Any suggestions?
