Teaching
I am passionate about teaching; it is my favourite part of academic life. My students appreciate my methods, and I am consistently commended for the passion I bring to my teaching, and for my commitment to my students. In recognition of my commitment to effective teaching and best-practice pedagogies, I am an elected Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
