Research interests

My main research interest is assessment, and how assessment, and assesment feedback, can impact on students' approaches to learning, particularly surafec and deep approaches to learning and students' utilization of feedback. I am further interested in learner autonony and learner independence and how coaching and mentoring can help develop learner independence and lead to greater learner autonomy.

Postgraduate supervision

I will consider PhD topics on assessment in higher education.
