Absolutely loved this piece! The Arts undergrad courses have degraded in quality compared to what it was five years ago (when I started uni). And the fantasy they’re trying to sell is completely inaccurate. At this point I’m so committed (sometimes out of spite) to deliver the best teaching experience I could to students when I become a tutor. But good on you for taking time off to reflect. It’s so important in this age where universities fooled us into thinking that debt accumulation is a new positive.
Thank you for your kind words Robin. I admire your dedication to providing the best possible teaching experience for your future students - you'll smash it ! I agree with you, it's critical that these narratives around the university experience are challenged so students can differentiate between its actual value versus its perceived value.
