It’s a bit of a cliché but we all know what it means and it’s
such an apt description that I’m going to use it anyway.
What academics do
when the students aren’t there
The students at the university where I work broke up today
for Christmas. That means they’ll have three weeks off. Everyone assumes that
is also the case for their lecturers. Not so, I’m afraid. They find plenty for us
to do – on top of marking assignments, getting modules ready for next Semester
and in our case, interviews all day long next week for two English appointments.
