Just wrapped up two incredible days at the University of Stirling’s annual Learning and Teaching Conference.
One of the highlights? Presenting my first ever conference poster.
It explored a new assessment method I introduced in my Law module at the International Study Centre:
⚖️ A mock trial.

January will mark 5 years of teaching...a deeply rewarding 5 years, all told! I feel like only now am I starting to really settle into a style and rhythm that i'm happy with, and yet every day these students surprise and amaze me with their resilience and drive (most of them)... long may it continue
