I have designed and delivered numerous new undergraduate and postgraduate level courses, including field-based teaching and a residential ‘Speed-PhD’ course for PhD students. A key goal of my teaching is to actively engage students in cutting-edge research and I have worked to integrate inquiry-led and skills-based learning in many aspects of my teaching.
My current campus and field based teaching is detailed below. Including preparation, delivery and assessment/ feedback this totals ca. 800 hours per year.
