Improving exam technique - twilight session THIS THURSDAY

Dear Year 12 and Y13 Physicists,

We are very lucky to have a lecturer and tutor from Oxford Uni running a session on problem solving and exam technique this Thursday (18th May) from 3-4pm in W-08.

This session will give you more opportunities to practice exam questions, and will also look at strategies for when you don't know what to do in exams!

All Year 12 Physics students are expected to attend.  See me in advance if there is a problem with this.  (12e, this session will replace Tuesday's twilight session)

Year 13: this is optional, but highly recommended.

Stephen Hawking tickets

Dear Y12 and Y13,

We are incredibly lucky to have 1 staff ticket and 4 student tickets to Stephen Hawking's lecture in Oxford next Wednesday evening (5pm, Weds 18th Jan, Mathematics Institute, Oxford) .

If you would like to attend, a parent of guardian needs to fill out the consent form that has been emailed home and send it to Dr Spence (W-08) by 12 mid-day on Tuesday 17 January. Copies of the letter are also available from Dr Spence in person (W-08)

As we only have space to take four students, returning a consent slip does not guarantee that can attend this event.  Instead, names of four students who have submitted a consent form will be drawn from a hat on Tuesday 17 January at 12 mid-day. Students will be informed during tutor time on Tuesday 17 January if they have been successful in their application for a ticket.

For those students who are unsuccessful in their bid for a ticket, the lecture will be podcasted live. See www.maths.ox.ac.uk for more details. - See more at: https://livestream.com/accounts/2754207/stephen-hawking-inaugural-roger-penrose-lecture
