Teaching Matters Academic Support

Poor academic practice and academic misconduct cases are much more visible and frequent among taught undergraduate and postgraduate assessment than they are in PhD work. However cases do occur and the consequences are potentially catastrophic and extremely distressing for all concerned. Cases we are aware of have involved the external examiner identifying plagiarised material with an almost forensic level of rigor – exactly what we expect of any external examiners doing their job.

University teaching often happens ‘in isolation’ involving a single teacher in a lecture theatre or tutorial room. This limits opportunities to pick up new ideas for enhancing teaching and learning through seeing others ‘in action’, or to receive constructive feedback on your own teaching. Peer observation can help overcome these challenges, and is widely recognised as an effective approach to enhancing teaching.

Meet Anna Lunderberg. Don’t let the relaxed pose in the hammock fool you. This summer, Anna is hard at work on campus, doing things like studying the brain tissue of rats and running Western blots. (Yeah, I had to Google that , too.) Anna, a soon-to-be sophomore at Hope, is collaborating with biology and chemistry professor Dr. Leah Chase on neuroscience research through the summer.

For the past three years, the Scottish Higher Education sector has been exploring student transitions in, through and out of university as part of the national Enhancement Themes. I was a member of the University’s Institutional Team which was responsible for developing and coordinating a programme of work and, from an early stage, it was agreed that it would be useful to provide a resource for staff on important transitions and what good transitions look like.

iStock [erhui1979] While the use of multimedia has become a common practice in the development of learning materials, using audio or video in the way that we assess and provide feedback to our students is a practice which is only followed by a minority of lecturers. For many lecturers, introducing a multimedia element involves navigating uncharted waters in order to arrive, in the end, at the same shore that they would arrive following traditional assessment methods.
