Measuring the Effectiveness of Mathematics Support resources

Statistical Advisory Services are an innovative and valued approach to providing statistical advice centrally to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students. This paper reflects on the experiences of a new UK university in developing such a service through a HE STEM Practice Transfer Adopters partnership project. The Projectâ??s adopted strategies to partner with other university stakeholders are evaluated. In particular, partnerships with faculty- based staff and running staff development training courses are identified as effective development strategies.
