Working with you to enhance the student experience
As a part of the thematic group series, the Centre is hosting a workshop focussing on improving teaching and learning in the lab. We will look at all aspects of lab classes from thinking about the aims of the class to how to assess it. The workshop will be run by Dr Caroline Baillie, the thematic group leader for 'Learning in the Laboratory' and the deputy director of the Centre. We intend the workshop to be as interactive as possible - so bring along your problems and ideas!
