In Law, with the topics constantly needing up-dating (perhaps unlike some other disciplines where a first or second year subject may not need up-dating on a regular basis), much of our allocated prep time goes on up-dating lecture notes/slides, seminar question sheet and reading lists. https://padlet.com/lkbleasdale1/fru8d8m4853lyywn/wish/821314697 2020-10-12 11:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lkbleasdale1/fru8d8m4853lyywn/wish/821314697 Cost https://padlet.com/lkbleasdale1/fru8d8m4853lyywn/wish/821315140 Socratic and lectures are cheap and scalable

Yes, we need to support & create opps for students to be on campus for many reasons but that does not need to be F-2F teachings opps in rooms that are unsafe for staff/students emmaflint https://padlet.com/lkbleasdale1/fru8d8m4853lyywn/wish/821319845 2020-10-12 11:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lkbleasdale1/fru8d8m4853lyywn/wish/821319845 Big dislike for the term 'the new normal' emmaflint https://padlet.com/lkbleasdale1/fru8d8m4853lyywn/wish/821324212 2020-10-12 11:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lkbleasdale1/fru8d8m4853lyywn/wish/821324212 Build in better opps for student autonomy/choice around assessment practice and working with staff in partnership collaboration with each other & staff.
