Testimonials
University of Oxford, Social Science Division
“The Zoom format with break-out rooms went really well - much more interactive than some online sessions. It really kept the whole group engaged!”
“The structure of the sessions was fantastic. So clear and so practical - starting with building up a knowledge base. This wasn't then just left (like so many other courses / workshops) it was developed through having to put what we learnt into practice. This was challenging (in a good way!)”
“This course was excellent. I learnt many valuable skills which I now have the motivation and confidence to develop through practice. I would recommend this course to all my colleagues and friends.”
“The hands-on element of the course made it exceptionally useful in understanding how to convey academic research to a lay audience. It made a daunting task seem more manageable.”
