Bundle of draft blog posts – you’ll see me here first! This will include a post on my viva experience, which was both terrifying and awesome.
Networked Learning Conference 2024 abstract proposal. Pedagogy of Hope is such an awesome topic, how could I not submit?! The answer to that was “by getting Covid and being too sick to write before the deadline”. Aaah well, here’s to 2026 🙂
Wicked problems-related vet-medical education paper that has been waiting so long!
Creative assessment paper with Nancy and Miriam.
Vet Sustain paper, which will follow on from the wicked paper.
Just finished…
I am now on a complete relaxation session as I passed my viva with minor corrections on the 13th December 2023. Superb examiners, amazing supervisors and the brand new Dr. Boyd (to be). Graduation in July 2024.
