Year 2
Meet Ludger Hartley
Inspiring students
My 3 favourite
lectures all involve
improvisation!
Too many words
on slides and not
being clear on
why they're there
Anticipate areas students will find
tricky and help them to apply
their knowledge
Year 3
Meet Guto Gwilym
Inspiring
LessInspiring
Being approachable
Some lecturers are too
intelligent to teach
My Message
Treat all Students as adults until proven otherwise.
Master’s Degree
Meet Andrea Palomo
Inspiring & Uninspiring
The Importance of Resilience & Believing in Yourself
De-Constructive Criticism & Impossible Achievement
Take Away Message
“Education is what survives when what has been
learned has been forgotten” B. F.Skinner
Some of the most important lessons happen outside the
classroom.
Thinkspiration
Inspiration can
come from
anywhere.
Often it’s the
smallest things,
the most
minute
gestures that
have stayed
with me
forever.
