Mathematics continues York's teaching success
Posted on 30 October 1998
"We take teaching very seriously - as well as research - and this is reflected in the score," said Professor Tony Sudbery, Head of Department. "Our students do very well and we had very supportive comments from employers. The whole department is a happy community."
The Teaching Quality Assessment team from the Quality Assurance Agency visited the department of Mathematics from 26 to 29 October. Their visit was a formal process which looked at six aspects: course design, teaching, student progression through the course, student support, learning resources, and internal quality assurance procedures. Each area was awarded a score out of 4 (total possible marks: 24). The department submitted a document in advance which detailed aims and objectives in each of the six areas.
