A Pilot for a Shared On-line Statistics Advisory ServiceStatistics Advisory Services (SASs) have recently been established at several UK HE institutions, offering statistics help and advice to students undertaking a final year undergraduate or masters project or engaged in postgraduate research. This report gives the findings of a project to identify the practical and pedagogical issues associated with sharing an on-line SAS resource, and to elicit the opinions of students using the service in order to understand their expectations and experience of using this type of on-line support. We believe that this type of shared service would offer universities a viable alternative means of providing a SAS without incurring the financial costs of resourcing a SAS solely dedicated to their own institution. This report was written by Alun Owen, Peter Samuels, Michele Wrightham, Bernadette Leckenby and Mollie Gilchrist.

A Practitioner’s Guide to Implementing Cross-Disciplinary Links in a Mathematics Support ProgramWith widening participation in the university sector and the reduction in pre-requisites for entry into many university science courses, students are arriving at university with reduced competencies in mathematics. As quantitative skills are crucial for study in science, under-preparation has direct effects on multiple disciplines. The Maths Skills Program for first year science and statistics students at La Trobe University was developed in collaboration with science coordinators to provide students with mathematics support that highlights the relevance of mathematics to their disciplines. In evaluating the program, both the students and science coordinators were surveyed. The student responses on questionnaires indicated the students saw the relevance of the program to their educational goals, believed the questions written in context helped them learn their subject, and the focus on relevance helped them understand how mathematics was related to their subject. This was in line with the responses from the science coordinators who found the program to be relevant to their disciplines and assisted students in applying mathematics in context.

A Statistical Awareness Curriculum for STEM Graduate EmployeesThis project created a learning environment that raises statistical awareness among STEM employers and employees and: shows the need for employers to audit employees' statistical skills and act on the evidence provided by the audit; builds an understanding of the role of statistical skills in developing a fully competent workforce; develops an appreciation of how statistical skills can be improved. It created a web-based tool for employers to audit their employees? statistical skills. This report gives details about the project and the created resources. This report was written by Neville Davies and John Marriott.

Activity Guide: An outdoor-inspired indoor mathematics experienceThe Outdoor division at UCLan provides a team building residential Frontier Education course to many of the university's first year cohorts. It was noticed that within this course some of
the skills developed would not only foster better group cohesion, but also reflected some of the qualities desired from the mathematics undergraduates The chance to turn this idea into a project came with the Student Internship programme offered by sigma. This booklet is aimed at lecturers without prior knowledge of coaching theory but have the desire to approach the students development from a different direction. Developed by Andrew Burrell, Jo McCready, Zainab Munshi, Davide Penazzi.
