Prof Judy Hardy j.hardy [at] ed.ac.uk I undertake evidence-based research into physics teaching and learning with the overall aim of developing and evaluating educational strategies that improve student learning in physics and related disciplines. I am particularly interested in the student experience of learning, teaching, assessment and feedback and in the ways that this can inform educational development. |
