Testimonials for VCE Biology from CEC

I would highly recommend this professional development session to those teaching Biology for the first time as it gives an overview of where you would be heading when teaching the course.

First year VCE Biology Teacher, Emmaus College, January 2015

I would recommend this professional development to VCE teachers who would like to discuss strategies and mechanisms to improve student learning and success. The presenter was clear in her explanation. This was very important as I was involved via the internet.

VCE Biology Teacher, Boort District School, December 2014

This PD session makes the job of teaching VCE Biology seem less daunting. Handouts / PPT's very useful.

VCE Biology Teacher, Belmont High School

Caroline has provided high quality revision lectures to the students at John Monash Science School. The students really value the presentations and the handouts are fantastic.

Head of Science, John Monash Science School, June 2011

I can really see that what CEC is doing with our students is working. 2009 was the first year we had students achieve a study score of over 40 in Biology. Thank you for your efforts.

Senior School Manager, Cheltenham Secondary College, January 2010

The presentation was an excellent overview of Unit 3. It was clear, organised and covered a large area of study. The exam pointers and tips were most useful.

VCE Biology Teacher, Doncaster Secondary College, June 2010

It was good to get an overview of Unit 3 myself. Sometimes in revision you don't get a long time to just sit and review the full course yourself. It was an informative summation of the course.

VCE Biology Teacher, Emerald Secondary College, May 2009

The lecture was thorough, detailed and the lecture handout is great. It was good to see interaction with the students and their input for test and examination questions valued. Thanks.

VCE Biology Teacher, McKinnon Secondary College, Dec 2007

The best part about the lecture was the simplified and easily understandable approach. It gave a good insight into specific biological language which needs to be used in the exam. Thank you.

The lecturer explained concepts in a new way, causing a deeper understanding on my behalf. This was most valuable. I will use the revision notes to complement my own notes collected so far.
