Comments from conference feedback:
“The historic venue was amazing – having the conference dinner in the Painted Hall was a fantastic bonus. The talk at the Planetarium was pitched at just the right level. The standard of talks, both plenary and contributed, was extremely high. This must rate as one of the best CETL-MSOR ever.”
“It was fantastic, and definitely made me feel inspired. I think the most difficult thing will be deciding what to focus on. It was also valuable to be updated on the changes in GCSE and A-level curriculum.”
“Thoroughly enjoyed it; very well organised; extremely friendly conference as ever. Possibly 4 parallel sessions instead of 5 would have been better – felt like I missed a lot of interesting talks!”
“I had not been to this conference before and did not know quite what to expect. I really enjoyed it (and the Planetarium show was superb!)”
