As to the former it's a bitter irony that 'teaching to pass exams' is easier than actually teaching - because in massive classes with compulsory teaching you can't really teach properly anyway. Myabe with smal groups of 4-5 ? Or even less!

As to latter, they are something of a joke among the regular staff - but there was a section in our latest staff meeting about how we can most effectively feed back the results of those surveys to the students. I shit you not (this is precisely one of those ideas that can only come from a colonised mind).

As to migraines - sorry about that, you should try experiencing the anxiety-soup I have to battle through every Monday morning. Still, the end is in site.

PS - If yr critiquing a current job online I'd be careful - I'm only doing this noe as I know I'm leaving shortly and I'm fairly sure steemits not that visible yet!
