Further to this I was responsible for ensuring all students were cared for and were never engaging in any inappropriate behaviour that could harm others or themselves. I also was responsible for logging attendance for all students for both mornings and afternoon lessons. Moreover I had to correct and comment on work done by the students at the end of each working day. Throughout the year I was also responsible with fellow teaching assistants and teachers in implementing successful outings and making sure all students were accounted for and no students were at any risk throughout the outings.

Under the supervision of Dr Sagnik we looked at the influence cannabis could have within the brain function of individuals during a cognitive attention task based on their previous exposure to cannabis. The main aim of the research was to better elucidate how differences in the individuals cannabis use history moderated the acute effect of cannabis during an attentional cognitive task. This was determined by analysing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from two pre defined groups… Show more Under the supervision of Dr Sagnik we looked at the influence cannabis could have within the brain function of individuals during a cognitive attention task based on their previous exposure to cannabis. The main aim of the research was to better elucidate how differences in the individuals cannabis use history moderated the acute effect of cannabis during an attentional cognitive task. This was determined by analysing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from two pre defined groups of the cannabis users based on their lifetime exposure to the drug. Throughout the project I applied my research skills through processing and analysing behavioural and fMRI data, using a complex UNIX operating system and a fMRI analyses package XBAM, my ability to work in a team as well as my ability to work independently and my ability to critically analyse past literature and my scientific writing style.
