The course is intended to provide PhD students with a solid background in colour science. The content is adapted each time to the individual students' interests and main research topic. The course is revised for 2023 to adjust the ECTS credits to 7.5 and introduce some additions to the content.

Assessment is through the medium of a coursework project, which is required to be at a standard suitable for publication at a conference or journal in the field. Students submit a written paper and are given an oral exam in which they answer questions from an internal and external examiner. One student registered for the course in Fall 2022, but withdrew before submitting her coursework. She plans to re-register in 2023.

In spring 2021 two students registered in order to re-submit work from the previous semester. Both successfully completed the course.

Students are expected to achieve the learning outcomes at a high level, which is a challenge for students who are new to the subject. As a result it is not unusual for them to need a second submission, after detailed comments from examiners, to reach the level required. Students felt that ‘the learning outcomes were significant’ [Reference group report].

In spring 2021 there were no new lectures and just individual project supervision meetings. Students appreciated the level of feedback given individually [Reference group report].

Students submit a written paper and are given an oral exam in which they answer questions from an internal and external examiner. Students found the oral exam a challenging experience [Reference group report]. In spring 2021 two students resubmitted work from the previous semester with major revisions. All comments by examiners were addressed and as a result both students received a pass grade.

All students on this course in Fall 2020 originally took the course in Spring 2020. Due to the Covid situation in the spring they were unable to make sufficient use of the laboratories to complete their work, and as a result re-registered in Fall 2020. Where possible projects were adjusted to take account of the situation, but two students were unable to get sufficient access to the labs to complete their projects [Reference Group report].

Learning outcomes are relevant to PhD programs in colour-related topics. The emphasis within the learning outcomes is adapted to match the needs of individual students and their PhD research. The value of this approach was confirmed by students [Reference Group report].

The course is normally taught through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops and labs, together with a series of individual tutorials on coursework projects. There was no repeat of lectures from the Spring 2020 semester, and instead the focus of teaching and learning was on the coursework project, particularly around the remaining practical work in the lab and the writing up of the projects.

The assessment is in the form of a coursework project, which is required to be at a standard suitable for publication at a conference or journal in the field. Students submit a written paper and are given an oral exam in which they answer questions from an internal and external examiner. In Fall 2020, of the four students registered two satisfied the assessment requirements, while two were unable to complete the work to the expected standard, mainly due to further difficulties in accessing laboratories on campus, and were given detailed comments from the examiners on areas needing revision and further work.The two projects which achieved a pass grade are being prepared for publication by the students. Students again suggested that course seminar presentations be included in the assessment [Reference Group report], although this is not considered to be within the framework of assessment of the course.

This course provides a grounding in colour science that equips doctoral students to engage in research in related topics.

Student numbers are small and the emphasis within the learning outcomes is adjusted to match the needs of individual students and their PhD research. Student feedback [see reference group report] indicates that students appreciate this customization and state that the course benefits their research.

The course is taught through a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops and labs, together with a series of individual tutorials on coursework projects. Students have varied backgrounds but the aim of the course is to ensure that they have a good grasp of fundamental colour science and can engage with and participate in current research.  The Spring 2020 delivery was significantly affected by the Covid-19 situation. Lectures, seminars and tutorials were all completed on-line with no problems. Labs were not accessible during a key period when they were needed for project work, and students were given a choice of undertaking a simulation project that could be carried out without the use of the labs, or deferring until a later semester when the labs would be available. Three students chose to submit a simulation project and two to defer.

Assessment is through the medium of a coursework project, which is required to be at a standard suitable for publication at a conference or journal in the field. Students submit a written paper and are given an oral exam in which they answer questions from an internal and external examiner. In the Spring 2020 semester the course responsible worked with students to ensure that simulation projects were able to meet the standard required despite the lack of laboratory work. In 2020 Spring two students satisfied the assessment requirements, while one was unable to meet the expected standard in his work, and was given detailed comments from the examiners on the weaknesses. This process is intended to correspond to the peer review of a scientific publication, and a resubmission is expected in the coming semester.  In the reference group report, students proposed two changes to the assessment:<ol><li>Include course seminar presentations in the final assessment grade</li><li>Include questions that test the learning outcomes across the course content in the final oral exam.</li></ol>Consideration will be given to these suggestions for future delivery of the course, but it is likely they will not be accepted for the following reasons:<ol><li>Course seminar presentations are formative rather than summative elements of the course.</li><li>An oral exam of knowledge gained during the course is less appropriate to a doctoral-level course. The format of the assessment is intended to model the peer review process that students will experience when publishing their work, and in the case of the oral exam it is modelled on the question session following delivery of a conference paper.</li></ol>
