Report from a pilot centre in June 2004: Oxford & Cherwell College

What students most liked about the SNAB A2 is the range of interactive support material. Most (though not all) students continued to appreciate the context-led approach. This course has led us to take a much more student-centred approach to the teaching.

The greatest challenge has been the adaptation of teaching styles, familiarisation with new topics, and getting the IT working.

Students who have done the SNAB A2 are going on to medicine, biology, anthropology, sports science, and a variety of others including dance!

Having worked through SNAB, we are trying to transfer some of the ideas to our adult 'access to science' courses.
