Starting to Teach in MPS
 MPS (Dr Nicos Georgiou, Dr Jackie Grant, Dr Istvan Zoltan Kiss)
will deliver a program tailored to Mathematics and Physics, which
should eventually lead to some form of accreditation from the
HEA.
 5 sessions spread from September to end of November with some
reading material and assignments.
 Improve the quality of tutoring and support delivered to students.
 Set a school-wide standard of quality in tutoring and student
support.
 StT: attendance is compulsory and running workshops and getting
paid is conditional on this.
