This paragraph from Armin's article rings true... "Yet the students who with such a clear mind defend the value of education as a public good should take a clear and careful look at what it is that they are defending. The snobbish and frequent comments of members of the politic and academic establishment who refer to 'our world class universities' are not aware of what the students know all too well. That the standard of teaching and learning in most British universities is very low, that a lot of the teaching is outsourced to exploited and underpaid sessional lecturers, that part time staff often are made course leaders and solely responsible for a whole BA or MA course, that the number of 'contact hours' students are getting are few and decreasing, and that British universities have long been turned into a two- and three-tyer class society."
wishing all well. marc _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
