Evaluations: Although in London I voluntarily used student feedback forms designed by myself, the only independently administered student questionnaires have been done in the US, namely: (i) EE599 at USC in 1984, this gave an above average evaluation (ii) CS22 at UCLA, an overall rating of 6.5 which was well above average, and (iii) at Caltech in 2001, I had a three year review of my teaching and was given high scores and my position renewed.
Teaching the teachers: Tutor in three day courses at the London University Teaching Methods Research Unit, which help beginning professors to become more aware of teaching techniques.
