Academic and research interests

My main research interests are regarding learning, teaching and assessment in Higher Education. My research areas within HE currently have a specific focus on developing strategies to help support students to successfully transition from the Foundation Year to L4, which complements my research interests in the widening participation agenda and personal tutorial practices. I am dedicated to student success and understanding how evolving educator practices can empower students to achieve, hence my interest in how learning, teaching and assessment practices require continual reflection and evaluation in order to effectively nurture students through their undergraduate journey.

I also have research interests in how alternative assessment methods to written essays can help students demonstrate key life and employability skills, such as authentic assessment. Additionally, I have a keen interest in how students use their feedback and the use of peer feedback in supporting and devloping individual student understanding and knowledge in the subject matter.

Alongside a colleague, we have ongoing research projects regarding assessment feedback, and student support and progression from the Integrated Foundation Year programme to level 4.
