Question: Hi, I'm Dylan.
This is my first question to you, so sorry about any wierd things.
What and when was your favourite period of time studying science at school - who was the teacher?
Dylan :)
Hi Dylan,
No problem we had much weirdest question!
I loved the two last year at high school because I changed from normal school to agricultural school where science was very useful/interesting. I learned a lot about animal biology, soil chemistry… and the teacher (chemistry and biology) really loved what they were doing!
I probably liked A-levels the most, because that’s when you could really get into the detail of things. We had a real variety of different teachers, but they all had different teaching styles so it never become boring. I didn’t really have a favourite teacher – they all had their moments!
Hi Dylan. My favourite time at school was my final year, when there was greater freedom and more interesting subjects and I was involved in a range of things including debating and the school production of Oliver (I was Mr Brownlow). I had excellent teachers for maths, physics and chemistry, but my French teacher, who was also my debating coach, had the biggest effect on my life.
Weird questions are great Dylan, keep asking!
For me it was in the 6th form doing A levels, the teachers started to treat us as adults and made lessons really interesting. Although it was nearly 30 years ago I can still remember my science teachers names, so thank you Mr Knott, Mr Duffy, Mr Robinson, Mr Worley, Mr Ellis, Mr Gitos and Mr Jacobson!
The effect of my debating coach was, very slowly, to give me confidence in public speaking, which I now do in my job as a lecturer and when I give presentations at scientific conferences. If I had not developed that confidence back then, I doubt I would be doing the job I do now .
