Portfolio for Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Hons)ConceptsThe
portfolio for Biomedical Science programme will be a collection of
students effort, progress and accomplishment throughout the
programme. This portfolio focuses on students reflection on their
learning process and transformation from knowledgeable students to
competent scientist with analytical and critical minds, important
traits that are emphasized in the programmes outcomes (Table 1).
There will be no summative components in this portfolio, since most
contents (eg. Practical reports, AIR, Thesis...) already contribute
to EOS marks. IMU Biomedical Science Programmes Outcome
