Separated by a common language of assessment? Undertaking a linguistic analysis of assessment documentation (2021)
Presentation / Conference
West, H., & Rudge, L. (2021, December). Separated by a common language of assessment? Undertaking a linguistic analysis of assessment documentation. Paper presented at Society for Research into Higher Education Annual Conference, Online

Assessment and feedback are a key part of the student experience in higher education. Despite advances in practice in recent years, universities still frequency receive low student satisfaction scores in this area. Reasons for this may include discre...

Monthly rainfall signatures of the North Atlantic oscillation and East Atlantic pattern in Great Britain (2021)
Journal Article
West, H., Quinn, N., & Horswell, M. (2021). Monthly rainfall signatures of the North Atlantic oscillation and East Atlantic pattern in Great Britain. Atmosphere, 12(11), Article 1533. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos12111533

Atmospheric-oceanic circulations (teleconnections) have an important influence on regional climate. In Great Britain, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has long been understood as the leading mode of climate variability, and its phase and magnitud...

Formalising the relationship between Geography Education & Geographies of Education as GeogEd (2021)
Presentation / Conference
West, H., Hill, J., Finn, M., Healey, R., Marvell, A., & Tebbett, N. (2021, September). Formalising the relationship between Geography Education & Geographies of Education as GeogEd. Paper presented at Royal Geographical Society Annual International Conference, Online

In 2019, the Higher Education Research Group (HERG) formally became the Geography and Education Research Group (GeogEd). What may appear as a simple change in name masks a renewed understanding of the synergies between geography education (at all lev...

Creating pivotal moments in undergraduate learning through assessment dialogue (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Hill, J., & West, H. (2021, September). Creating pivotal moments in undergraduate learning through assessment dialogue. Paper presented at Royal Geographical Society Annual International Conference, Online

A key debate in higher education is how assessment and feedback can be constructed to maximize opportunities for meaningful student learning. In this paper, we explore how a learning-focused model of feedback, teacher-student dialogic feed-forward, i...
