By replacing the regulation for this subject so as to read:
Each candidate shall
| (a) | offer four written papers of three hours, two in Physiology and two in Psychology; |
| (b) | submit records of practical work in Physiology done by the candidate; |
| (c) | submit three printed or typewritten copies of a report of a project, of not more than 5,000 words in length, excluding tables, appendices, footnotes, and bibliography, on a subject in the field of Psychology or Physiology. |
The types of practical work in Physiology and their examination requirements shall be announced by the Examiners not later than the division of the Michaelmas Term. The record of practical work shall be submitted to the Examiners not later than the tenth day of Full Lent Term and shall bear the signatures of the teachers under whose direction the work was performed.
A candidate who offers a project in the field of Physiology shall submit a report on a subject which may be either proposed by the candidate and approved by the Head of the Department of Physiology or chosen by the candidate from a list of approved subjects announced by the Head of the Department by the end of the Michaelmas Term. Each candidate shall either obtain the approval of the Head of the Department for the subject proposed or notify the Head of the Department of the subject chosen from the list not later than the beginning of the Lent Term. The report shall be submitted to the Examiners not later than the third day of Full Easter Term.
During Full Easter Term, on a day specified by the Head of the Department, each candidate will be required to give a brief presentation of the project to an audience consisting of staff and students of the Department of Physiology and including internal Examiners. In assigning marks for the examination the Examiners shall take account of the candidates' research projects (both the report and the presentation).
A candidate who offers a project in the field of Psychology shall submit a report on a subject chosen by the candidate from a list of approved subjects announced by the Head of the Department of Experimental Psychology by the beginning of the Michaelmas Term. Each candidate shall obtain the approval of the Head of the Department for the subject chosen from the list not later than the division of the Michaelmas Term. The three copies of the report shall be submitted to the Examiners not later than the tenth day of Full Easter Term.
