A week of teaching at NUCA, archives – see http://unpickingandrebinding.blogspot.co.uk/
and training – considering the National Student Survey (NSS) and our/my
relationship to it. It’s important that students get the right information
about a course when choosing where to study and increasingly, we are told, they
along with their families are looking at sites such as which universities .com
etc to make decisions, a sort of where to get the best deals on phones type
site. I have been working with year 3 students on how to understand the rather elliptical
questions in the survey along the implications of their tick boxes – it makes
for interesting times and opportunities for us all. Meanwhile wading through
some porn data with information graphics http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/design/all/04984/facts.information_graphics.htm
a tombstone of a book – wonderful.
