The @OpenUniversity does a small thing that makes a huge difference to me as a disabled student. They include an accessibility guide that is specific to each module. 1/

Why on earth do we assume it's right that some students get extra time on a particular assessment, but then we DON'T assume they might need more time to complete the degree OVERALL?

😂😂 I’m reminded of a course offered called “Real simple groups”. 100 people showed up to the first lecture (presumably expecting it to be really simple, nevermind the grammatical error). Only five returned for lecture 2.

A math department at a major university in the US is now offering a semester long course on “game theory”. Yes, you read that right. Games. The things tiny children play. The dumbing down of America continues…

@UniKent has reaffirmed its plans to cut philosophy and several other subjects. So disappointing. Letting down its current students, but also reducing opportunities in the region. kent.ac.uk/news/statement…
Jon Williamson@Jon_Williamson_

Sadly, @UniKent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear
