Innovative assessment across the disciplines An analytical review of the literature. (2007)
Report
Hounsell, D., Falchikov, N., Hounsell, J., Klampfleitner, M., Huxham, M., Thomson, K., & Blair, S. (2006). Innovative assessment across the disciplines An analytical review of the literature. York: The Higher Education Academy

In universities, where the choice of methods of assessment is devolved, such methods can differ by subject area, by course and by institution. Yet while devolution offers scope to reconfigure assessment approaches, there may be correspondingly greate...

Fast and effective feedback: are model answers the answer? (2007)
Journal Article
Huxham, M. (2007). Fast and effective feedback: are model answers the answer?. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 32(6), (601-611). doi:10.1080/02602930601116946. ISSN 0260-2938

Feedback to students is essential for effective learning, but there is little empirical information on what kind of feedback is best. This study compares student responses and performance after receiving two types of feedback, that provided by model... Read More about Fast and effective feedback: are model answers the answer?.

Stable isotope records from otoliths as tracers of fish migration in a mangrove system. (2007)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Kimani, E., Newton, J., & Augley, J. J. (2007). Stable isotope records from otoliths as tracers of fish migration in a mangrove system. Journal of Fish Biology, 70, 1554-1567. doi:10.1111/j.1095-8649.2007.01443.x

The ratios of stable isotopes 18O:16O and 13C:12C were measured in otolith carbon taken from nine species of fishes caught within mangroves and on the reef at Gazi Bay, Kenya. Before analysis, otoliths were divided into `larval'`post-larval' and `adu... Read More about Stable isotope records from otoliths as tracers of fish migration in a mangrove system..

Carbon stable isotopes in estuarine sediments and their utility as migration markers for nursery studies in the Firth of Forth and Forth Estuary, Scotland (2007)
Journal Article
Augley, J., Huxham, M., Fernandes, T. F., Lyndon, A. R., & Bury, S. (2007). Carbon stable isotopes in estuarine sediments and their utility as migration markers for nursery studies in the Firth of Forth and Forth Estuary, Scotland. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 72(4), (648-656). doi:10.1016/j.ecss.2006.11.024. ISSN 0272-7714

The stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) of the organic fraction of intertidal sediments in the Forth Estuary and the Firth of Forth, Scotland, were measured to determine if terrestrially derived carbon was present in the estuarine sediments. It was h... Read More about Carbon stable isotopes in estuarine sediments and their utility as migration markers for nursery studies in the Firth of Forth and Forth Estuary, Scotland.

Defining and detecting undesirable disturbance in the context of eutrophication. (2007)
Journal Article
Tett, P., Gowen, R. J., Mills, D., Fernandes, T., Gilpin, L., Huxham, M., …Malcolm, S. J. (2007). Defining and detecting undesirable disturbance in the context of eutrophication. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 55, 282-297. doi:10.1016/j.marpolbul.2006.08.028

An understanding of undesirable disturbance to the balance of organisms is needed to diagnose marine eutrophication as defined by EU Directives and OSPAR. This review summarizes the findings of the UK Defra-funded Undesirable Disturbance Study Team,... Read More about Defining and detecting undesirable disturbance in the context of eutrophication..
