So far, the groups seem to be working really well together, learning some very advanced material, and being social in sharing that learning with their group. We want to give group members a wider opportunity to present and share their DRP projects, and hopefully build some confidence in talking about the Mathematics they love - the DRP team, the group leaders and all group members are there to support and will you on after all! This is meant to be a low stress environment to share your achievements during the term - I’d really grab the opportunity with both hands!
Building a sense of community is something we really value. I feel what we’ve managed so far with the formation of the DRP groups is to get students interested in collaboration in a more relaxed, small-group setting and this is really positive. The next goal is to take it further, and use the confidence built from those sessions to share their experience with a wider community, beyond the small-group.
