Details of the 2010 UK Centre for Bioscience Student Award where students responded to the question ' How would you advise new bioscience students to make the most out of practical work?' The award gave students the opportunity to express opinions tell us about their experiences and win up to £300. The winning entries and runners-up can be downloaded. The annual award started in 2005.
The Student Award open to all UK higher education students studying a pure or applied biological science aims to raise awareness in the bioscience teaching and learning community students' opinions and experiences of learning in the biosciences.
In 2010 entries could be an essay poster leaflet a PowerPoint presentation a podcast a video or an online submission (e.g. web page a blog posting a wiki or other social media contribution).
This year we received 23 entries of these 8 were shortlisted from which the 2 winners were selected.
The judging panel (which contained members of the Centre's Advisory Group and a panel of student markers) were impressed with the overall standard and in the end it was decided to award first prize to two entries - one postgraduate and one undergraduate.
