Catering for students who are struggling or are at the risk of failing

Seb Kaempf, Al Stark, Poh Wah Hillock Season 4 Episode 5

In this episode, we talk to Dr Poh Wah Hillock. Poh is a senior lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Physics here at The University of Queensland. Facing high failure rates in her first year mathematics course, Poh has responded by specifically designing a support tutorial for her students and by using forms of community building and peer to peer support which help students bond over common struggles and, ultimately, succeed.
