We have been planning based on class sizes and capacities with social distancing. That will not change. Looks like we're full on blended learning for the next academic year. Having posted this yesterday, I got a panicked call from my Head of School. All courses to be taught in person in class this coming semester. Great, I said. We've been told our room occupancy is somewhere between 20 and 40. Max class size is 50. My class has 350 students in it. So my options as a lecturer are to see all students weekly online, or see the students once or twice in a semester in person. Unless this guidance changes soon the students are once again getting a sub par experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a dig at myself and Empty It regarding Bill Cosby, because you were in a wee huff over Leigh Griffiths.

So yeah you were defending Griffiths so I made a joke in the Cosby thread about it. Ground breaking stuff indeed... Completely irrelevant to the anti trans allegations which you probably know yourself to be untrue but still got to help a brother out when they're arguing with the Top Boy eh? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Someone think of the hospitals! Quote Posted at 14:45 Increasing pressure on hospitals in the South West Hugh Pym BBC News Health Editor I am hearing reports of increasing pressure on hospitals and other NHS services in south west England. The volume of holidaymakers is said to be one factor.

As I get older my ability to understand pedantry and humour seems to be diminishing. That said I enjoy a wee bit of pedantry myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Watching the press conference. Clear everyone (MHRA for sure) bar the JCVI want to vaccinate 12-15 year olds as well. JCVI finally actually saying it is the individual and not the collective they focus on. Edited August 4, 2021 by superbigal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The deputy first minister added that large gatherings around a bar were "a hallmark of hospitality venues in the past". But he added "maybe that's not a good idea in the context of covid being a part of our lives now" Well that’s not all of us drinking at a bar for the foreseeable future. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-58078053.amp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
