Here are the main slides I used in my morning presentation, and the workshop I repeated twice. I’ve combined the slides into a single presentation. As usual, I had to remove the pictures to make the file size compatible with my website limitations. CNWL slides (546 downloads) . Please also remember to use the search space at the right hand side of my website to find ‘peer observation’ and ‘ripples model’ as discussed during the workshop. Thanks to you all for joining in so well throughout my time with you, and to Dhani for looking after me.

Here are the main slides Marjon slides (544 downloads) minus the pictures and links (to keep file size below my download limit). It looks a bit boring without the added entertainments, but thanks to all of you for making me so welcome, and all the lovely Tweets. My journey home was pleasant and punctual. I hope the additional slides included are useful food for thought for you.

Main slides now up. SHU slides (543 downloads) Thanks for joining in so well.

Great to be with you all day today. The main slides I used are here. Evidencing feedback slides (505 downloads) . I got my train at Bristol – it was 15 minutes late anyway, and had to be taken out of service at Derby where another was waiting. I arrived in Newcastle only 15 minutes late and am now home. I could feel the care and enthusiasm that you pass on to students all day – well done.

Great to work with Wayne Herring and Bill Tipping and CIPS candidates in the Chapter House of Chelmsford Cathedral today, on exam technique, and revision. My main slides are here – and there’s lots more on my website to raid. You were a great group – and of course good luck – we all benefit when this happens. exam-tech-2015-ww1-1.pptx (334 downloads) (I’ve now corrected the billion on the slide about 18 June. Any more massive errors please?).

Lovely to be back in Cork with Sally, even if only for a day this time. Such an enthusiastic group of participants in my workshop today. Here are most of the main slides CIT slides (570 downloads) . Please raid my website for lots more on assessment, feedback, and learning.

At this time of year, lots of people are gearing themselves up for exams – perhaps you – or someone you know. Here are three collections of practical suggestions.
The first is on building really useful revision tools: question banks, so you can prepare for just about anything that might come up in an exam.
Next are some suggestions for how best to spend the first few minutes of any written exam: doing sensible things right at the start can pave the way towards much better marks.
Finally, are some suggestions about how best to go about the main task: writing answers to exam questions, and using your wits to squeeze every available mark from whoever is marking your script.

Sally was awarded an Honorary D.Litt by Kingston University yesterday. The award was made at a splendid graduation ceremony on May 11th in the Royal Festival Hall. Lesley-Jane Eales-Reynolds (PVC at Kingston) gave a moving and heartfelt tribute to Sally and her work to the packed RFH, and Sally replied warmly and with fun and passion for 5 minutes to the assembled graduates, staff and parents and guests. Sitting in one of the Hall’s boxes, I felt very proud of Sally, and moved by the tribute paid by Lesley.

Too cold for gardening, and Sally’s off to Chelmsford, so I’ve been doing a spot of website maintenance, and re-done my workshop prospectus for the next year or so. I’ve trimmed down my offerings to focus on the things I like doing best. Workshops Prospectus 2015-16 (794 downloads) .
