Assignments
Each participant produces two individual products over the course (there are no groups): a research proposal on their own question (each part modelled live in Sessions 1–7 and written as homework, submitted in Session 8, where about 5 volunteers present) and a draft manuscript on one of the five FLUID-ICU questions, Q1 to Q5 (we give you the results pack, you write the paper; written after Sessions 7–8, peer reviewed by a classmate after the course). The marks are formative: they help you improve.
