8. Activity 3 – Agony Aunts!
Problem 1
Student: I travel to Uni on the
train – nearly an hour each way.
2 days a week I have a lecture
at each end of the day and a big
empty gap in the middle.
I never seem to have the right
notes with me.
I have been asked to keep a
reflective blog on a forthcoming
module.
Problem 2
Tutor: I am expected to mark
my student’s assignments in 3
weeks and return them with
useful feedback.
I want to make my lectures
more interactive. I’d really like
to move to a Flipped Classroom
approach.
I co-teach one module with two
other tutors. The students have
complained about our
inconsistency – how can we do
more to show we’re joined up?
I can’t find enough time to
attend CPD events.
