Biography

I started work at the age of sixteen and spent the next ten years working with interesting and diverse people in different parts of the country doing all kinds of things. I then undertook a degree in biology at Hatfield Polytechnic and as a consequence of this, began research into nerve physiology at King’s College London. From there I moved to Staffordshire University where I became interested in how students learn within higher education. I started researching into learning, assessment and feedback with colleagues and I have really enjoyed that. Research gives me a great sense of freedom and purpose. I have always liked to explore and experience change. Research allows me to do that.

Research Intrest

Social learning, assessment and feedback and the use of self- and peer-assessment in higher education.
