To any PhD students, ECRs, Grad students or whoever needs to hear this- if you are feeling guilty this week about being back to work without having done much/any work over the festive period...please just don't. You will be starting 2022 better from having the rest.

Forget REF, TEF and KEF, I hereby propose the LEF.....Leisure Excellence Framework! I'm sure there are plenty of academics out there who are truly excellent at utilising leisure time and doing amazing things which aren't work-related. We need to share snd celebrate this.

I have quite the opposite experience. I've found over time that in general my students work harder than ever and are a credit to themselves and my university.

Imagine being a school pupil during the pandemic required to use tech to access learning & keep in contact with your mates. Then some psychologist comes along & gives you a test about your increased use of tech & uses it to show your risk of addiction. How much would that suck?!

Awful journalism. I got 3 Ds at A level, but got into uni, worked my ass off and got a 1st class degree. Since then, worked my ass off some more and now have a PhD and a 12 year successful academic career under my belt.
Hundreds of students with the worst A levels are going on to get first-class degrees each year, fuelling fears of grade inflation at universities

Today we got a reject decision on a paper that we'd revised twice from previous reviewer comments. This final round seemed to include a new reviewer whose comments were not only inaccurate but just downright rude. Safe to say, we're not letting this one go without challenging it

"Imposter syndrome" is experienced so commonly by academics at all levels. But maybe the issue is that to be an academic, you have such a diverse range of identities to handle, the reason we feel we are imposters is because we never really fully feel affiliated with any of them?!

Here is our recent paper on stereotypes which suggests that people believe that domestic violence is more acceptable when victims are male rather than female. No wonder many men don't feel they can seek help. This is not ok.

I'd love 2020 to be the year when universities just sacked off league tables. I think we can all agree that we can do more by cooperating and supporting each other rather than battling against each other.

When the value of a degree is reduced to how it correlates with average graduate earnings, this suggests to me that we have lost all perspective of what the value of a degree actually is.
“Many” degrees “terrible value for money”.
Fees to be cut to £7,500.
Degrees “letting down thousands of students & costing taxpayer millions,” says education secretary.
Wouldn’t guess UK universities are one of the nation’s finest assets based on this S/day Times Augur preview

This coming academic year, I'm going to offer a "pick and mix" format in my cyber module where students can select a module pathway of preference and access pre-recorded lecture content & self-study resources accordingly. Crazy? Probably, but I'm excited!

Alternatively (from experience of entering uni with DDD, working my butt off for 3yrs and gaining a 1st class honours, and then getting a PhD and now working as a lecturer) maybe HE is actually working pretty well in supporting hard-working people achieve their full potential?

At yesterday's Open Day, I answered a lot of questions about career opportunities, career options, placements etc but not a single person asked what they would be learning about on the courses we offer. I hate that this is what HE education has become.

And maybe some students go to uni because they just want to learn! I'd love to be able to deliver my curriculum with this as the primary objective rather than being told it should help students get a job. Yes employability skills are important but learning is also paramount.

Several of my students have specifically said they won't be attending sessions on campus next week, so they can feel safer when returning to families during the Christmas period. Can't argue with that logic to be honest.

Just a friendly reminder for those receiving degree results around this time: uploading photos of your degree certificates or transcripts makes it easy for counterfeiters to access official logos, crests, signatories, stamps, holograms and wording. Do celebrate, but carefully 🥰

Once again, mainstream discussions about HE has absolutely zero reference to the fact that the majority of students' learning is self directed. These discussions about online vs f2f really are over-proportionate when ~80% of learning won't happen in these teaching contexts

It is irresponsible of researchers to present public claims when the small-print and details do not fully represent or support these. This is one example of the results of this action and I am not ok with this.
