Professor Phil Race

Professor Phil Race works on both sides of the teaching-learning equation; working with students to develop their learning skills and with staff to develop their teaching methods. He is particularly interested in the design of assessment instruments and processes, and is keen that both assessment and feedback should play positive and motivating roles in student learning. Phil is a part-time Visiting Professor for Assessment, Learning and Teaching at Leeds Metropolitan University, and for the rest of his time designs and leads interactive training workshops for staff and students in universities, colleges and other organisations throughout the UK and abroad.

Professor Race recently shared his ideas and approaches in interviews with Dr Sara Hammer:
