Dr Gemma Betros wins CASS Award for Excellence in Education
The School of History is thrilled to congratulate Dr Gemma Betros on her 2015 CASS Award for Excellence in Teaching, and in addition, her nomination for the 2016 Vice Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence.
Dr Betros is a Lecturer in European History whose courses are strongly research-led, engaging students in a contributory dialogue about theories, methods, and debates. Gemma’s approach to student-centred teaching and learning is exemplified by her embedding of academic skills support for first year students in both assessment design and teaching of the process for fulfilling assessment requirements.
Dr Betros has worked with the Academic Skills and Learning Centre in developing this, with the outcome that students have improved their writing and authorial identity.
