Independent work of
students
Individual work which is done by the
students during the academic
semester is calculation-and-graphic
assignment (CGA).
Calculation-and-graphic
assignment (CGA) is an
independent research conducted
by a student. Implementation of
CGA improves knowledge and skills
obtained by the student during
study of the "Medical
Informatics" course
The purposes of writing CGA are:
• classification, consolidation and expansion of theoretical
knowledge and practical skills of the student;
• acquisition of experience working with literature and other
sources of information, and ability to synthesize and analyze
scientific information, to develop own approach to the
problem;
• ability to use information and computer technology for applied
medical problems;
• development of skills necessary to master specialized
software;
• conduction of a thorough analysis of student’s own research
and forming meaningful conclusions about the quality of the
results.
Implementation stages of
calculation-and-graphic
assignment (CGA):
І. Individual work according to the
chosen topic of CGA.
ІІ. Data Processing.
The first stage of CGA
The first stage of CGA is
performed during the
first module. It includes
the following parts:
The first stage of CGA
1. Choice of CGA topic
Topic of CGA is chosen by
student independently and it
should be agreed with the
teacher.
The first stage of CGA
2. Determination of work’s
relevance
The description of topic relevance
should not be verbose. Several
sentences are enough to describe
the crux of the problem.
The first stage of CGA
3. Determination of work’s objective
Objective reveals the purpose of research, and
it should describe the specific steps necessary
to get results.
The objective of the study is specified in the
set of tasks. These tasks give an idea of what
should to be done to achieve the goal.
Tasks (usually 4-5) are formulated with verbs as
a list of actions: "to learn...", "to analyze...", "to
build a model of ...", "to estimate...", "to define
...", "to compare ...", "to explain ...“ and so on.
The first stage of CGA
4. Selection of literature and other information
sources relevant to the chosen theme
It is necessary to conduct literature search
and to choose 5-10 sources relevant to the
chosen theme.
Search can be done:
 through library catalogues
 using Internet search engines
 with other available means.
The first stage of CGA
5. Collection of data required to
explore the chosen topic
Process the chosen sources and select
the data necessary for your research
The first stage of CGA
6. Systematization and structuring
of data
Organize data in tables and charts
The first stage of CGA
7. Presenting output of the first stage in a
text editor
І STAGE of CGA should include the following:
1. Title page according to the sample (see Appendix 1).
2. Contents.
3. Relevance.
4. Specified objective of work.
5. Structured data with the indicated sources of
information.
6. Annotated list of used sources. Number - from 5 to
10 sources.
The first stage of CGA
Requirements for the text version of CGA:
•format of pages - A4;
•font - Times New Roman;
•font size - 14;
•line-to-line spacing - one and a half intervals;
•alignment - the width of the page;
•margins - 2 cm;
•the names of the structural parts and sections - in capital letters, bold,
centered, the names of the sub-sections – in lowercase letters (except
for the first letter), bold, center;
•the distance between the header and the main text - one interval;
•every structural part (section) starts with a new page;
•pagination - top center;
•the number on the title page and table of contents is not put;
•tables should have titles and be numbered;
•pictures, graphs, charts should have titles and be numbered.
The first stage of CGA
The first stage of CGA is presented in
print version
The first stage of CGA
Evaluation of the first stage of CGA
From 2 to 12 points, depending on the
quality and design correctness of CGA
The second stage of CGA
The second stage of CGA
is performed during the
second module. It
includes the following
parts:
The second stage of CGA
1. Choosing the method of information processing.
2. Substantiation and description of the selected
method.
3. Information processing.
4. Receiving results.
5. Interpretation of results.
6. Formulation of conclusions.
7. Issuing a report on the work done.
The second stage of CGA
At the end the conclusions are drawn.
They must match the tasks listed in the objective
logically and by number.
One task - one conclusion (!).
Thus, each of the conclusions is "connected" with the
objectives of the work.
Conclusions should be based on the student’s own
analysis of the problem and correspond with the
tasks of CGA.
The second stage of CGA
Required size of work is 15-20 pages of printed text (not
including the list of information sources and appendixes).
For defense of the calculation-and-graphic assignment
presentation should be made in addition to five-minute oral
report.
II stage of Calculation-and-graphic assignment should be
submitted in electronic and printed form. Files of electronic
version and the presentation should be in MS Office 2003
format and submitted on CD-R or CD-RW disk.
The electronic carrier should include a text file (Word), necessary
appendixes, files with the results of processing (Excel),
presentation (Power Point)
The second stage of CGA
Evaluation of the second stage of CGA
From 2 to 12 points, depending on the
quality and design correctness of CGA
Defense of CGA
Defense of CGA (16th practical class)
The student prepares an electronic
version of CGA, creates a
presentation, published work or Website. Each student publicly protects
own CGA
Defense of CGA
Requirements for content and design of presentation
1. The presentation should be done in Microsoft Power Point
HR/2003 format on the theme of CGA.
2. Presentation should be corresponding with a five minute report
on CGA.
3. Content of the presentation should be clearly structured. Each
new slide should logically follow the previous and simultaneously
prepare for the next one.
4. The optimal size of presentation is no more than 15 traditional
slides.
5. Amount of text in presentations should not exceed 35%, the rest
- illustrative material (pictures, graphs, charts, diagrams, etc.).

Requirements for content and design of presentation
6. Slide number 1 should contain the following information:
- name of educational establishment and its department where the
work was written (font size - no less than 24);
- discipline, topic (font size - at least 28, bold);
- surname and first name student, faculty, group (font size - no less
than 24);
- surname, name and patronymic of a teacher (font size - no less than
24);
- the year of creation of presentation (font size - not less than 24).
7. Slides number 2 - 3 should describe the relevance of the topic and
the objectives to be achieved in the course of work (one slide - no
more than 15 lines of text).
8. The last slide (slides) must contain the conclusions to work (one
slide - no more than 15 lines of text).

Requirements for content and design of presentation
9. All slides (except the first) must include the serial number, located in
the upper right corner (the font size - not less than 20).
10. Each slide (except the first) has to be named, font size for titles no less than 24.
11. Optimal design of presentation – is to use color schemes "light text
on a dark background" or "dark text on a white background." If colors
of background and text match, it is recommended to use the text
design with "shadow".
12. Background images should not detract attention from the content of
the slide.
13. Font size recommended - 24.
14. The maximum number of text information on a single slide - 15 text
lines in fonts Arial or Verdana, size - 24.
