them?

CiLTHE, a revelation
• So many options– A useful definition of education
• So much that I hadn’t understood that was understandable
4th July 2002 CiLTHE Conference 7
Examples
• “take the chalk in your left hand and turn 45O to face class.”
• Course structure was always– 20 lectures, 10 tutorials– 8 to a tutorial– CWA 40%, exam 60%– Exam 4 questions out of 9 each with equal
weight

Gleischer formula
• Change requires
• A vision of where you want to be• A mechanism for getting there• A first step
• Multiplicative
• Cannot be undertaken by the frightened or the complacent

CiLTHE is
• A mechanism for getting to where you want to be– Effective and– Efficient Teaching
• It is also a first step

Self-similarity
• Everything is like everything else at whatever level you look
• Fashions in teaching sweep the University because no one is really studying what to do
• Lack of diversity is the result
4th July 2002 CiLTHE Conference 16
I think we should
• Ensure diversity
• By planning degree schemes• Not only in terms of subject
coverage• But student experience
