@andreasinthesky @UniofBath @BathChem Looking forward to having you @BathChem!

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@professor_dave @RSC_HEG Thanks, that's really helpful

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

Quick question for all the #ChemEd folks out there. How many of you routinely give students outline answers with past exam papers? @RSC_HEG any data on this?

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@professor_dave @RSC_HEG That sounds sensible. Is this done for all units? And do you provide full model answers or more of an outline answer?

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@PaulfrYorkshire @stewart_malcolm @RSC_HEG This is a good approach. Do all units have this and how do you ensure that all lecturers do it?

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@PHoare1963 @RSC_HEG Do you have any issues with this approach? E.g. students relying too heavily on past papers?

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@doc_kristy @RSC_HEG That would be amazing- thank you!

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@doc_kristy @RSC_HEG That's interesting. Did you trial giving the answers out and if so did you stick with it?

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@stewart_malcolm @RSC_HEG Specifically written answers with no additional input from staff

Huge congratulations to my wonderful @UniofBath colleague @fabionemetz and to #ChemEd star @kjhaxton on their #NTF awards. Thoroughly deserved and long overdue! @NTF_Tweet

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

@stewart_malcolm Congrats Malcolm- very well deserved!

[Dr Gan Shermer @ganshermer]

Fab news to end a rather stressful day! It's been great working with you on this @patrickthomson and @LTGibson_vanMil

Really proud of this one: paper evaluating the anxiety-reducing effects of "open-note" exams is out! With @ganshermer and @LTGibson_vanMil. Thanks to @RossKGalloway @ElizabethYuriev @SFaulknerPandO and many others for help along the way!
