Undergraduate screencast presentations with self-, peer-, and tutor-assessment (2019)
Book Chapter
Haxton. (2019). Undergraduate screencast presentations with self-, peer-, and tutor-assessment. In Teaching Chemistry in Higher Education (265 - 282)

The aim of this work is to describe the use of screencast presentations with first year undergraduate chemistry students to enable presentations to take place without significant timetable demands. I also describe self- and peer- assessment protocols... Read More about Undergraduate screencast presentations with self-, peer-, and tutor-assessment.

Developing Scientific Reporting Skills of Early Undergraduate Chemistry Students (2019)
Book Chapter
Capel, N. J., Hancock, L. M., Haxton, K. J., Hollamby, M. J., Jones, R. H., Plana, D., & Mcgarvey, D. J. (2019). Developing Scientific Reporting Skills of Early Undergraduate Chemistry Students. In Teaching Chemistry in Higher Education: A Festschrift in Honour of Professor Tina Overton (333 - 333 (348)). Creathach Press

Our aim is to initiate the development of selected generic skills of early undergraduate chemistry students by focussing on scientific reporting skills. To achieve this, we have developed an approach that draws upon chemistry journal articles as para... Read More about Developing Scientific Reporting Skills of Early Undergraduate Chemistry Students.

Diagnostic tests for better teaching (2018)
Journal Article
Haxton, K. (2018). Diagnostic tests for better teaching. Education in Chemistry,

Benchmarking students’ ability after any transition between levels of study allows tailored teaching, but requires careful question design. Katherine Haxton shares her tips for where to begin

Learn to embrace the enabling power of tech (2018)
Journal Article
Haxton, K. (2018). Learn to embrace the enabling power of tech. Nature Reviews Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41570-018-0123

The role of technology in education is continually changing. As technology enables us to record whole lecture courses with ease, shift from pen and paper to electronic note taking, and engage in new and innovative ways, how do we embrace technology w...

Peer and simple? (2015)
Journal Article
Haxton, K. (2015). Peer and simple?. Education in Chemistry,

Peer assessment – where students mark the work of their classmates – is a popular way of helping students engage with all aspects of a piece of work, and in many cases is a very authentic method of assessment. It’s a valuable activity, providing an o... Read More about Peer and simple?.

Dendrimer Conjugate of [4-(Tetradecanoylamino)benzyl]phosphonic Acid (S32826) as an Autotaxin Inhibitor. (2013)
Journal Article
Fisher, N., Hilton-Bolt, T., G Edwards, M., J Haxton, K., McKenzie, M., Allin, S. M., & Richardson, A. (2014). Dendrimer Conjugate of [4-(Tetradecanoylamino)benzyl]phosphonic Acid (S32826) as an Autotaxin Inhibitor. ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 5(1), 34-39. https://doi.org/10.1021/ml4003106

Autotaxin is an extracellular phospholipase D that catalyzes the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidyl choline (LPC) to bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA has been implicated in many pathological processes relevant to cancer, including cell mi...
