<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m writing to say a big and sincere thank you to all of those involved in supervising, supporting, making kit for, explaining, marking, examining, chairing and watching presentations for this year’s PH450 projects.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The vivas are all complete, the marks are in and the feedback from students has been mostly positive – the projects really are a special part of our degree. Thank you all for everything you’ve done to support the students this year.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And yes, expect a request for project descriptors for 2024-2025 soon so we can give students more time to decide.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m grateful for the feedback colleagues have been passing to me in person about the assessment criteria, allocation process (of projects and markers!) and timelines so please do get in touch if there is anything you think I need to know
ready for next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
