Summer Physics Update 2009, University of Birmingham
“Happy listening to experts in their fields and learning more about their work - all the lecturers’ stimulated discussion and ideas.”
“The strength of your courses is that they concentrate on the joy and wonder of physics.”
“Another excellent weekend, full of interesting ideas and strategies for teaching, both from workshops and from interacting with colleagues.“
Spring Physics Update 2009, University of Manchester
“Being able to hear such enthusiastic, lively and informative lecturers are a major reason that I give up free time to attend these INSET courses.”
Autumn Physics Update 2008, University of Cambridge
“A great weekend that has been hugely motivating and will provide inspiration to me and hopefully my students for a long time to come.”
“The mix of lectures and workshops is excellent and the standard very high.”
Autumn Physics Update 2006, University of Cambridge
From an article on the University of Cambridge website:
“There's something delightful about becoming a physics student again for a weekend in the middle of a busy term of teaching. When you ring the IOP Teachers' Update team to enquire about available places Leila Solomon makes you feel so welcome that you want to encourage a couple of friends to go along as well.
So this year veteran participant John Murphy, CBS, Dungarvan was joined by three new wide-eyed disciples: Noel Brett, Colaiste Chriost Ri, Cork, Paul Nugent, St. Dominic's High School, Sutton and Michael Grehan, Belvedere College, Dublin.
Cambridge University was an inspiring venue for this Physics Update. By breakfast time we had walked in the footsteps of great Physicists and Engineers. In the Great Hall of Trinity College we dined under portraits of Sir Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell and Ernest Rutherford. Most of our practicals took place in the Department of Engineering where Sir Frank Whittle pioneered Jet Propulsion.”
