    After having requests for this resource, I felt inspired to write my first blog post on teaching effective strategies to decode exam questions. The blog post is also the home for this document, should you wish to download and have a copy.

    I typed & printed this in 2016. I was in a toxic relationship, a low paid job that no relation to my degree & I was totally unhappy 😔. I remember a friend helping me write this and me thinking how unrealistic it was. A little behind schedule but almost there 🙌🏻 #lawofattraction

    Anyone else get disheartened when they mark assessment and the students haven’t done well at all? 😣😣😣
