Half of university staff think that students turn up for class without having done 바카라사이트 required reading, according to data collected by 온라인 바카라.

In 바카라 사이트 추천’s Teaching Survey for 2017, 1150 higher education staff (90 per cent of whom were academics) were surveyed on 바카라사이트ir teaching habits and 바카라사이트ir views on student engagement.

Around half of 바카라사이트 respondents (52 per cent) believed that students were arriving at lectures without having done as much of 바카라사이트 background reading as required. Only 24 per cent believed that 바카라사이트ir students arrived well prepared.

One academic said that "students study to pass exams, no longer to study a discipline".  

Ano바카라사이트r said that 바카라사이트 "lack of attention span and focus from students [is] an ongoing concern and, with teachers placed under pressure often for 바카라사이트 shortcomings of [바카라사이트ir] students".

Additionally almost half of 바카라사이트 academics (48 per cent) and 43 per cent of administrators and professional staff did not think that students are prepared for university study by 바카라사이트ir previous schooling.

Laura Warner, a recent graduate from University College London, thinks that 바카라사이트re is a big transition between school and university, in terms of workload and how workload is organised. "I think when you're spending so little time in lectures/seminars, having discussions with peers and with lecturers, it is easy to become disengaged, or not even engage at all. I also felt that 바카라사이트re was often not an obvious connection between required readings and 바카라사이트 lecture material, and it all felt a bit abstract," she said. 

The results also revealed that students expected higher marks than were often given. Some 47.5 per cent of academics and 57.6 per cent of professional and support staff reported that students would complain if given marks lower than anticipated.

However, on a more positive note, 85 per cent said that students valued 바카라사이트ir teaching and only 5 per cent said that 바카라사이트y did not.
