Abstract
When you want to teach students academic and scientific skills, why not start in their first week at University? In a 7 day course, students in biomedical sciences go through the full process of doing research. The theme of the course is skin cancer, and students work in pairs, starting from pre-formulated research questions. A systematic literature search is the main source of information for the answers. Other educational activities range from lectures, group discussions, e-learning module to visiting a foreign laboratory by virtual meeting. The course ends with an oral presentation of the results and the presentations are marked for scientific quality. Grading is based on scientific quality of the presentation and the literature research. Following completion of this course, improvement of first year student’s attitude and understanding towards biomedical research is remarkable.
