Peer assessment of mathematical understanding using comparative judgement (2017)
Journal Article
Jones, I., & Sirl, D. (2017). Peer assessment of mathematical understanding using comparative judgement

It is relatively straightforward to assess procedural knowledge and difficult to assess conceptual understanding in mathematics. One reason is that conceptual understanding is better assessed using open-ended test questions that invite an unpredictab...

Evaluation of vaccination strategies for SIR epidemics on random networks incorporating household structure (2017)
Journal Article
Ball, F., & Sirl, D. J. (2018). Evaluation of vaccination strategies for SIR epidemics on random networks incorporating household structure. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 76(1/2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-017-1139-0

This paper is concerned with the analysis of vaccination strategies in a stochastic SIR (susceptible ? infected ? removed) model for the spread of an epidemic amongst a population of individuals with a random network of social contacts that is also p...
