Students thank their 'stand out' academics and student
representatives at the annual SSTAR Awards
Teaching and learning within the school is a partnership
between students and staff. This
relationship is ably demonstrated at the annual Student Union’s SSTAR awards to
celebrate academics and students who have gone the extra mile to help students
achieve their learning goals. Among the winners from our school was Carole Stoddard,
whose use of playdough breasts in cellular science saw her scoop the award for
Most Innovative Use of Teaching Methods.
Carole said “I am deeply touched to receive this award. I'd like to
thank all the students I have had the privilege to teach over the year for
their commitment and the excitement they brought through collective engagement
to bring these activities alive. I have also learned so much through them in
regard to learning processes and their valuable feedback will continue to shape
my teaching for years to come.” Further winners from the school included Arron
Jackson for outstanding programme representative, Dr Andrew Foey for
outstanding personal tutor and Dr Simon Fox for most dedicated project
supervisor and effective feedback.
