TEACHING ACTIVITIES
My main role is to help students learn how to evaluate and search for information and construct an answer to the question posed. That is, I seek to motivate students to learn how to answer a question themselves rather than relying on static information, i.e. become a self-learner. Innovation and Leadership I have regularly exchanged information on teaching with colleagues in the School, which has resulted in the introduction of innovative approaches to my module design and delivery methods. A variety of approaches have been taken, which included the introduction of more problem-based project work. A more structured approach to the project work has been the most recent change, primarily aimed at improving learning outcomes for the academically weak students.
