Ten years ago, I thought tests were the only way to assess a student’s knowledge, but now I understand that they can demonstrate their mastery in so many different ways. I am a critical and creative thinker. Ten years ago, I prepared my lessons with fixed steps and an end assessment in mind. Now, I design learning with an ultimate learning objective, but I let the students lead me down their path of learning. I am flexible and I can improvise.

Abstract : The application of hydrophobic treatments as a means of protecting vulnerable stone heritage has been a topic of research for decades. The findings of previous research have shown that there are a number of factors that influence the efficiency of a treatment and that sometimes, if used incorrectly, such treatments can even accelerate stone weathering and decay.
