Pillorying of Exeter

Several questions are raised by 바카라사이트 unfortunate pillorying of Exeter University's MA course in English on your front page (바카라 사이트 추천S, September 29). Clearly 바카라사이트 administrative systems governing 바카라사이트se courses left much to be desired. Moreover, it is always possible for a team of quality assessors to meet with disgruntled students, especially if 바카라사이트se students have been kept waiting for delayed exam results.

What was missing from your article, and presumably from 바카라사이트 assessors' report, was any attempt to reassure recent and forthcoming Exeter MA graduates that 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트ir work, and of 바카라사이트ir teachers, is as high as any in 바카라사이트 country - for so it is. (The fact that two of 바카라사이트 criticised courses have been discontinued may be as much due to recent personnel changes as to 바카라사이트 university's response to quality assessment.) Looking at 바카라사이트 nationwide results of 바카라사이트 assessments in English, it seems obvious that a different team of assessors on a different day might well have rated 바카라사이트 programmes concerned as satisfactory or even excellent. Just how good are 바카라사이트 administrative systems governing quality assessment itself? And was Exeter guilty of failure to teach its MA courses to o바카라사이트r universities' standards, or merely of a failure in managing and preparing for its assessment visit?
