University of Iceland

Sole instructor in 2011 and 2012, co-teacher in 2024; restructured the assignments, grading and tests together with the School of Education.

Working with Guðrún Geirsdóttir at the School of Education, the course was restructured from the ground up. The innovations in course design, assessment and tutorial evaluation inspired a fellow teacher in Natural Sciences, and together we secured a University teaching grant to develop the methods further.
