How not to measure teaching quality and learning gain | Academic Irregularities
https://academicirregularities.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/how-not-to-measure-teaching-quality-and-learning-gain
How not to measure teaching quality and learning gain. July 28, 2015. I blogged previously about learning gain. Just after the General Election. At that point there was not much to go on but a hazy promise in the Conservative manifesto to introduce a framework to recognise universities offering the highest teaching quality and require more data to be openly available to potential students so that they can make decisions informed by the career paths of past graduates . On July 1. In the Times Higher on 23.
England Rejects the Learning Tower of Pisa ? | Academic Irregularities
https://academicirregularities.wordpress.com/2015/07/29/england-rejects-the-learning-tower-of-pisa
England Rejects the Learning Tower of Pisa? July 29, 2015. Earlier this month (July 2015), the Times Higher announced the news that England will not be taking part in an OECD project to make Pisa-style international comparisons of graduates’ learning gain. This came as a surprise, given the priority this Conservative government has placed on learning gain and on a Teaching Excellence Framework. The story was followed up in The Guardian on 28. Perhaps the vice-chancellors had read a recent report from HEPI.
Whatever Happened to Academic Freedom? | Academic Irregularities
https://academicirregularities.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/whatever-happened-to-academic-freedom
Whatever Happened to Academic Freedom? August 3, 2015. Paul Greatrix, writing on the Wonkhe blog on July 14. Includes an account of how, as recently as the 1980s in the UK, autonomy, academic freedom and academic standards were thought to be inextricably linked. In the blog piece, he quotes two key higher education reports: on efficiency (The Jarratt Report 1985), and on degree validation (The Lindop Report 1985). Both contain appeals to academic freedom. 2015, a letter to. Signed by over 100 UK academic...
The paradox of the ‘under-performing professor’ | Academic Irregularities
https://academicirregularities.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/the-paradox-of-the-underperforming-professor
The paradox of the ‘under-performing professor’. July 10, 2015. This post has been inspired by an apparent declaration of hostilities towards professors in a number of universities. The weapon of choice has been performance management, and some aspects of audit culture have been liberated from their usual role of absorbing academics’ time to becoming instruments of punishment. This is the society of control outlined by Deleuze (1990). Foucauldian (sequential) disciplinary regimes (Morrish, 201. Performan...
My Loss is Your Learning Gain | Academic Irregularities
https://academicirregularities.wordpress.com/2015/05/23/my-loss-is-your-learning-gain
My Loss is Your Learning Gain. May 23, 2015. Liz Morrish discusses some new ways the Conservative government will seek to assess and rank universities. ‘Learning gain’ is about to be ‘a thing’. Have you been paying selective attention over the months leading up to the election? A tuition fee cut may have lodged in your memory, but that was Labour Party policy, and we can forget that now. What does a Conservative government have planned for universities? 8220;We will ensure that universities deliver the b...

The Plashing Vole: August 2014
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Thursday, 28 August 2014. I appear to have broken one of my friends, a colleague and a co-writer! I've been pretty quiet this week because I've been working really hard on a conference paper (and hopefully journal article). The conference is on The Politics and Law of Doctor Who. Its energetic progenitor Danny Nicol has even set up a blog. Well in advance to kick ideas around outside the closed circle of academia, which is the kind of thing that makes me happy. In actual fa...
The Plashing Vole: January 2015
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Wednesday, 28 January 2015. But chiefly on my mind today is George RR Martin. I'm supervising an undergraduate dissertation on Game of Thrones. Which means I've had to read them all (I know, feel my dedication) and I'm not happy. After a while, it gets a bit repetitive. And by 'a while', I mean one volume of the seven (so far). Links to this post. Thursday, 22 January 2015. Synergising our core products. Links to this post. Monday, 19 January 2015. To start 1st October 2015...
The Plashing Vole: February 2015
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Tuesday, 24 February 2015. All hail Eimear McBride. Last week we had the enormous pleasure of Eimear McBride visiting us. I put her debut novel A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing. On a first-year course last year and was stunned by how strongly the students responded to this experimental, poetic, harrowing novel. Which I've now ordered. She also put in a word for Edna O'Brien - rightly so. In the New Yorker. A sexual relationship with her uncle, an affair …. Then we went to dinn...
Moving on… (from your PhD) | Stuff About Unis

A jargon-free exploration of hot topics in higher education…. Extending state loans to postgrad study: an insufficient solution to the conundrum? Is UK higher education ‘familyist’? Moving on… (from your PhD). April 23, 2015. This is last of three blogs I wrote for the Bristol Doctoral College’s ‘Year in the Life of a PhD’ series, which you can find here. What is an academic CV supposed to look like? You could possibly hunt down some of the examples buried in the Vitae. Have useful information on this?

A jargon-free exploration of hot topics in higher education…. Is it a PhD…or not a PhD? The last year of the PhDand out of the other side →. Calculating tuition fees fairly is a slippery fish. September 26, 2014. Are tuition fees justified, and if so, how much should they be? All over the world, fees for studying at university are either being introduced or increased, and there are very few countries that buck that trend. This suggests that there must be strong arguments for them. The best employment rat...
Who should go to university? Who does? | Stuff About Unis
https://ddubdrahcir.wordpress.com/2014/11/18/who-should-go-to-university-who-does
A jargon-free exploration of hot topics in higher education…. Might Students in Germany and England see university differently? Who’s bright enough to go to university? Who should go to university? November 18, 2014. Accepted answer to the first question is ‘people who can satisfactorily complete the course, and who want to study’. The second question asks whether those who can and want to actually do. This breaks down into three topics, so I’ll do a blog on each. It’s a trilogy! Enter your comment here.
The Plashing Vole: October 2014
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Thursday, 30 October 2014. Homeopathic education from 'alternative providers'. Are you a student at an 'alternative provider'? You could be forgiven if you're not sure - the terminology is deliberately obscure (and pedagogically suspect). 'Alternative providers' are usually private corporations which happen to be in the education business, teaching mostly HNDs awarded by the giant vampire squid that is Pearson Education, though a small number are non-profit set-ups. Which s...

Academic Irregularities | Critical university studies, discourse and managerialism
National Student Survey: the view from different disciplines. August 14, 2015. Yesterday (12th August 2015) saw the publication of the UK National Student Survey, spawning much discussion on Twitter with the hashtag #nss. Here are just a few views collated from academics on Twitter. There’s a bit of editorial licence, of course, in the general spirit of gaming the exercise. On occasions this extends to actual substitution of quotations. Here are some typical views from the different academic disciplines.

academicism in a sentence | simple examples
In A Sentence .org. The best little site that helps you understand word usage with examples. Academicism in a sentence. This is the great vice of academicism, that it is concerned with ideas rather than with thinking and nowadays the errors of academicism do not stay in the academy; they make their way into the world and what begins as a failure of perception among intellectual specialists finds its fulfillment in policy and action. Use arbitrates in a sentence. Use clemently in a sentence. This is the g...
