@imdandavies Best of luck in teaching Dan.

My two thoughts on #alevels2024 university and #Clearing - for what it’s worth.
1. Congratulations. You’re awesome.
2. It doesn’t matter how you get there. It’s what you do next that counts.

This place really is batshit isn’t it.

[Andy Dickinson @digidickinson]

Well, bold is one word for it! We’ve gone from jumping the shark to chugging the horse!

[Andy Dickinson @digidickinson]

@ByRobDavies Good plan. But on previous experience, I’m betting several would be going up the course the wrong way without a paddle.

[Andy Dickinson @digidickinson]

@timbocop Danger there is you’re in risk of repeating/directly mapping programme or generic institutional LOs onto courses/units. Could get messy

[Andy Dickinson @digidickinson]

@timbocop In all seriousness it would depend on credit value (if that’s a thing that’s not consistent) but 3-4 for a 15 credit unit. If it was four or more you might expect one or two of those might be more generic critical or soft skill vs specific LOs related to course content.

[Andy Dickinson @digidickinson]

@FreyaSykes I have no defence. Nice cup of tea and a scone.

[Andy Dickinson @digidickinson]

@FreyaSykes The worst of it is that in truth I’d rather eat a scone with nothing on it.

This is hours of cheap entertainment for kids down the tubes. A quid used to keep my two occupied for hours.

🚨Exclusive: For the first time, the Treasury has not put in an order for the Royal Mint to make *any* new coins this year as it explores options for scrapping 1p and 2p altogether https://t.co/bHNQkq1o4r

Often forgotten in the discussion around #universities: they are now providing essential services to students (which would fall away if unis disappeared): mental health support and counselling, employment, career advice etc. Some student unions even have to run food banks.
