WHAT WE CAN DO NOW
My house is flooded, I won’t be in today. Can you notify the students, please?
I’ll put a notice on myBU and post one on each lecture theatre
and seminar room that you are timetabled in
That’ll take most ofthis morning!
Result: Poor NSS scorefor timetabling & communication
HOW IT USED TO BE IN THE OLD DAYS …and I waited an hour for the bus.
I could have had a lie in, if
only I’d known
I’ll go to the library and work
on my dissertation
instead
I’m ill and I won’t be in today. Can you notify the students, please?
Due to staff indisposition, today’s lecture is
Cancelled.
I’ll SMS the students and let
them know
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Academic involvement
EVOLUTION The Economist, P32, this week would be relevant
background reading for the exam. I’ll text the students to
let them know
In my final year, I had to juggle a job with my studies. Staff were very good at notifying me
of changes to the teaching schedule
Lecturers and admin staff always let us
know what was going on.
Result: Top NSS score for timetabling &
communication
WHAT NEXT?
Ooops! Dental appointment
tomorrow first thing. Will have
to postpone seminar. Note:
SMS to students
