This assessment is specifically designed to help you understand key aspects of the module. In addition the exercise will develop transferable skills including the ability to research, critically evaluate, assimilate, précis and produce a written report containing the key information; all important communication skills.
A ‘News and Views’ article should give a brief history of the topic, describe the findings of the article and discuss the significance of the findings. High profile weekly scientific journals such as ‘Science’ and ‘Nature’ use News and Views articles as a way of highlighting what they consider to be particularly important research papers.
The ‘News and Views’ article should be aimed at intelligent, educated scientists (e.g. masters students!) who might not necessarily be experts in that particular research area. You are strongly recommended to read a few News and Views articles (along with the paper the article refers to) to get a ‘feel’ for how to write such an article.

Before you write your articles you will need to read the relevant literature to ensure
you have a thorough and in-depth understanding of the subject.
You may chose to illustrate your articles with diagrams/illustrations but these must be your own work (e.g. created using PowerPoint or hand-drawn and scanned). Do not cut and paste pictures, illustrations etc from elsewhere – you will be penalized if you do this.
