      Graduate certificate in arts counter terrorism studies

      This qualification was part of a Master of Counter Terrorism Studies. However, due to my relocation to another state, and the highly specialised nature of this course, I was unable to complete the Masters and hence, was able to graduate with a Certificate. I completed the following two subjects- Wars of Recognition: Terrorism and Political Violence and Terrorism, Fringe Politics and Extremist Violence.

      State reviewer for vce global politics; examination setting panel member for vce global politics

      The VCAA is the peak organisation responsible for all educational curriculum in the state of Victoria. As the State Reviewer for VCE Global Politics, I was tasked to audit sample schools and their marking of School Assessed Coursework to ensure consistency across schools. I also had to complete this task by writing a report of my findings. The report was to assist schools with ensuring that the teaching and assessing of Global Politics was as expected by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority. Show less
