Matrix Of The Course Learning Outcomes Versus Program Outcomes

D.9. Key Learning OutcomesContrubition level*
12345
1. Students will be able to follow the international level scientific publications, apply this information in their study, highly capable of understanding the scientific basics and follow the latest developments very well.    X
2. They could reach out to all the resources concerning the study, aware of all recent developments.Have a scientific critical look at the work done in neuroscience field(could examine national/international journal papers at the level of a scientific referee and write a scientific report with their ideas clearly stated). These skills are assessed in the literature research and seminar courses. Also they are able to asking quesitons and making suggestions at the international scientific meetings.     X
3. They could find solutions with original methods and ideas to the scientific problem. Thesis progress reports and thesis dissertation will be used to assess these skills.    X
4. At the end, the PhD will acquire scientific leadership features in neuroscience field. Could produce a joint project with other researchers in the field of advanced neurological sciences or other scientific areas, conduct a project from beginning to end, establish their own scientific group and transfer knowledge and skills to the beginners.    X
5. Based on knowledge on literature and technics, could apply for national and international supports. Have an excellent ability to access to information and resources, could evaluate the resulting data critically.    X
6. Could develop notable laboratory applications in advanced neurological sciences. PhD, will acquire skills and features to be an independent researcher and a qualified educator.     X
