Course – Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
As described in the syllabus the course aims to:
The aim of the course is to introduce the participants to ideas about higher education teaching issues, thus preparing them for taking decisions in teaching that benefit students’ learning. An additional aim of the course is to provide the participants with a foundation for further professional development as a teacher in higher education.
One of the assessments was to make a critical reflection on an experienced teaching scenario on the basis of the acquired pedagogic tools. I chose to discuss a lab situation on the topic of engaging students in independent learning. The report can be found here.

KF6 – Gamma spectroscopy
A comprehensive full day lab covering:
- Particle-matter and specifically gamma-ray-matter interactions
- Principles of the detection of gamma rays (and particles) with scintillator and semiconductor detectors
- Signal readout, processing and analogue to digital conversion
- The chart of nuclides, radioactive decays and decay level scheme
- Different source measurements
- Data analysis and interpretation of the gamma-spectra
- Report
As part of the course development I have developed a Jupyter Notebook to facilitate data analysis. This project can be found on GitHub.
