Postgraduate taught students and preparedness for Master’s level study: polishing the facets of the Master’s diamond (2017)
Journal Article
Bamber, V., Choudhary, C. J., Hislop, J., & Lane, J. (2019). Postgraduate taught students and preparedness for Master’s level study: polishing the facets of the Master’s diamond. Journal of Further and Higher Education, 43(2), 236-250. https://doi.org

Transitions are increasingly recognised as difficult, and less has been written about transitions to postgraduate taught programmes than about transitions into undergraduate or doctoral study. A Scotland-wide project found that new taught Post-gradua... Read More about Postgraduate taught students and preparedness for Master’s level study: polishing the facets of the Master’s diamond.

Validity of wrist worn accelerometers and comparability between hip and wrist placement sites in estimating physical activity behaviour in preschool children (2016)
Journal Article
Hislop, J., Palmer, N., Anand, P., & Aldin, T. (2016). Validity of wrist worn accelerometers and comparability between hip and wrist placement sites in estimating physical activity behaviour in preschool children. Physiological Measurement, 37(10), 1701-1

Wrist-worn accelerometers can increase compliance with wearing accelerometers, however, several large scale studies continue to use hip-worn accelerometers and it is unclear how comparable data is from the two sites. The study aims were: to investiga...
