Centre for Academic Professional Development

Peter Knight, an outstanding scholar and a friend and guide to many in the assessment, learning and teaching community died earlier this year. Please find below a programme for the Peter Knight memorial seminar we are holding at Leeds Met on 17th October. As you may remember, we want to celebrate Peter’s achievements and talk about the ways in which working with Peter has impacted on our own practice, as well as looking to future developments of his legacy. The seminar is free, although we will ask you to buy your own lunch in the cafeteria at Headingley stadium. If you would like to reserve a place, please contact K.Procter@leedsmet.ac.uk, advising us of any special mobility or other needs.
