| | 10 | The asynchronous content will contain the more theoretical content delivered in the form of topic-specific mini lectures augmented by online "quizzes", mini literature-review projects, and problems. This material will be prepared by the lecturer (Ken Long) and course associate (Ruth McLauchlan) and released weekly by the Physics Undergraduate Office. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | The synchronous content will address the practical application of the nuclear medicine and MRI techniques in the clinic. This material will be presented by practicing medical physicists experts in the various field. Contributions will be made by Kuldip Nijran and Rebecca Quest from the Charing Cross Hospital and Sonia Nielles Vallespin from the National Heart and Lung Institute. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | The synchronous content will be delivered in two "Rapid feedback and application" (RFaA) sessions will take place each week; the first on Wednesdays at 11:00 and the second on Fridays at 14:00. Each RFaA session will include protected time allocated for the students to raise questions related to any of the material presented in the course. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | Two problem sheets will be issued during the course, the first in week 3, the second in week 7. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | Assessment will be 100% by exam. The exam will be based on the asynchronous taught content and the material presented in the FRaA sessions. |
