Module MSE-4090:
Blood Sciences

Blood Sciences 2024-25
MSE-4090
2024-25
North Wales Medical School
Module - Semester 1 & 2
30 credits
Module Organiser: Dylan Jones
Overview

This module will describe how blood science plays an essential role in the diagnosis and management of patients within the health system. Lectures will discuss many of the major conditions of significance to the health service ranging from anaemia, leukaemia, coagulopathies, endocrine dysfunction and disorders of the acid-base balance. During the module the molecular mechanisms behind many common conditions will be explored and the role of molecular pathology in diagnosis will be detailed in conjunction with classical methods of detection.

Assessment Strategy

-threshold -Primary criteriaA threshold student demonstrates knowledge of key areas & principles, and understands the main elements of the subject area, although gaps and weaknesses in the argument are evident. No evidence of background study and wider reading. Answer focussed on question but also with some irrelevant material and weaknesses in structure & argument. Answers have several factual/computational errors. No original interpretation. No links between topics are described. Limited problem solving skills. Some weaknesses in presentation accuracy & delivery.Secondary CriteriaC+ Good within the classExceeds expectations for some primary criteriaStrong factual knowledge with some weaknesses in understandingIdeas/arguments are limited but are well presentedC Mid-levelMatches all primary criteriaModerate factual knowledge with some weaknesses in understandingIdeas/arguments are limited presented with weaknesses in logic/presentationC- Meets requirements of classMatches most but not all primary criteriaModerate factual knowledge with several weaknesses in understandingIdeas/arguments are limited presented with weaknesses in logic/presentation -good -Primary criteriaGood students demonstrate strong knowledge & understanding of most but not all of the subject area.
