The Bath Course is for lecturers and teaching fellows to support their development whilst on probation. Successful completion of all elements of the course results in obtaining HEA Fellowship.
Dr Lenka Banovcova leads on the Bath Course with the support of other staff from across Academic Staff Development and the Centre for Learning and Teaching, as well as academics and teaching fellows across the University.
John Benardis, who achieved HEA Associate Fellowship (AFHEA) through the Bath Course in July, said: "When this all started, I remember sitting down among strangers to attend what I thought would be another potentially boring personal development course. However, when the course finished, I stood up among friends and peers, knowing my craft of teaching and myself better. What I thought would be potentially a waste of time, was an interesting experiential journey of honing my teaching style in a supportive environment."
Fulvio Pinto, who achieved HEA Fellowship (FHEA) through the Bath Course in November, said: “Attending the Bath Course gave me a different perspective of teaching and helped me a lot in my professional development. I had the opportunity to reflect on several new aspects of the learning process and on the fact that “teaching” is not limited to the hours of direct contact with the students but it is something more complex that requires a careful plan and has many different aspects, such as the design of the Learning Outcomes or the alignment between the content of the teaching activities and the assessment tasks. Reflecting on the different approaches to the learning process and analysing the different activities aimed towards the student engagement was very useful, especially when I had the opportunity to learn from other members of the academic staff. I was fascinated by the different teaching strategies adopted in other departments especially in terms of group activities and assessment typology aimed towards the development of teamwork and communications skills. I believe that this exchange of ideas and experiences can strongly help in the development of high quality teaching activities, taking the best out of different academic environments.”
