English Students ! ! ! ! we are Not Alone ! !!

There are some 600 of us ...

Do you agree:
1)That an English degree teaches nothing about English because constructive thought is disencouraged and often prevented by -
  • pressures of assessment
  • excessive material covered - superficiality of approach
2)And only teaches us a technique of bullshiting, i.e. how to be an academic?

What gripes do you have about your courses and/or degree

  • what do you think of the requirement 44 credits (+ 12 lang) for a Major?
  • what do you think about the existence of terms requirements and assessment based only on the final exam, giving us the worst of both worlds?
  • what do you think about the refusal of the English department to invite or even consider student opinions on these questions?

Come and Meet with Some Fellow Students for Discussion and/or Wine and Cheese.
