Dr. Majella Dempsey Presents on 'The Problem with Homework' at Mathsfest, Cork

Thursday, November 16, 2017 - 10:00

Dr. Majella Dempsey, Maynooth University Department of Education, recently presented on 'The Problem with Homework' at Mathsfest in Cork.
  
Research tells us that homework in mathematics improves academic achievement. However, how do we design, implement and mark homework so we get the best from the experience for our learners? The workshop explored how we develop homework tasks, how students work on the tasks and how we mark and respond to that work within a 40-minute class. It is not easy but it can be done!

MathsFest took place in Cork on Saturday 21st October 2017. 

Dr. Dempsey is the course leader for the Bachelor of Science with Education and the Bachelor of Mathematics with Education. Further information on our courses available here
