Symposium 14th January 12-2pm 341/342
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.
This Wednesday, we held our very first Directed Reading Program (DRP) Symposium, and it was a massive success!
We’ve had over 200 students taking part in 40 reading groups, with topics ranging from optimal transport, hyperbolic geometry, and vortex dynamics etc...
During the symposium, over 70 people presented their progress with some amazing posters. It was so rewarding to see the engagement with collaborative mathematics among the students, and to see what they have accomplished
We are really looking forward to the next DRP event and growing the initiative further!
A massive thank you to Sai, Ahmed and Olivia for supporting the initiative throughout, as well as many staff members who attended the Symposium and engaged with the students
