The assignment is notes outlining your lecture with additional material to show you have been able to do some deeper research into some of the allied area.
The preference is for the assignment to be handwritten, ideally in a log book that will be returned to you. The target is for approx 2 pages of handwritten notes, and between 4 and 6 pages on the additional topic(s) associated with understanding the brain. You will begin to lose marks if the notes are more than 10 pages. This is not an essay and you will not be marked down for poor spelling, punctuation or grammar but please read what you write and correct any observed errors.
