Other academic activities
It is my desire to raise the UoP in the University ranking. Having close contact with our customers has allowed me to identify areas where we can improve our image and quality of teaching, particularly within the Faculty of Technology.
Although the part-time funding has been slashed, my desire to support students has not. I am therefore offering to provide one-to-one support to customers of the University of Plymouth. This is entirely voluntary and my availability is restricted due to working outside of the University. I will endeavor to make myself available on a Friday morning by appointment, please contact me.
