Re: UKNM: Fresh Minds

[Lois Grayson]

Having recently gone back to Uni after 15 years in the workplace I have been

impressed by a) the amount of actual work to be produced and b) the demands

made on students not just to participate actively in lectures but also to

think originally and to support each other through learning teams.


It seems a hell of a lot better preparation for the commercial world than it

was when I were a nipper - unfortunately though any grads expecting that

original thought will be listened to and a co-operative approach appreciated

may be sadly disillusioned by general working culture in the UK....
