Samenvatting

Oddball students, falling academic standards, lecherous colleagues, fortunes spent on 'corporate' follies, an over-reliance on foreign fees and business donations, striking lecturers, poor student welfare – and an A+ explosion in cheating... welcome to a British university in the 2020s.

‘You don’t have to read too many pages of this sizzling personal account of day-to-day life as a university lecturer to appreciate why the author has chosen to remain anonymous...’ – Dennis Sherwood, Author, Missing the Mark

Oddball students, racist colleagues and inept administrators. The rise of business influence and the erosion of academic freedom. Ridiculously wasteful corporate schemes and broken toilets. Poor student welfare, an unwillingness to fail anyone and an A+ explosion in cheating...

...welcome to a British university in the 2020s.

For more than a decade, the deteriorating state of the higher education sector in the UK has been known to insiders, but not to the public. Now, after years of cutbacks, an academic who must remain anonymous, for reasons you will quickly understand, presents a no-holds-barred account of life on campus.

Oddball students, racist colleagues and inept administrators.

Rising business influence and crumbling academic freedom.

Absurdly wasteful corporate schemes and broken toilets.

Low student welfare, an unwillingness to fail anyone and an A+ explosion in cheating...

For a decade, students and academics have been painfully aware of the deteriorating state of UK universities. But the public has only been able to glean anecdotal accounts about poor value for money, underwhelming lecturers, falling standards and rubbish facilities.

Now, after a decade of frozen tuition fees, an anonymous academic presents a no-holds-barred account of life on campus.

Unsparing in their remarks, the Secret Lecturer takes you into the seminar room (a repurposed store cupboard, as it happens), the cranky staff meetings, the botched disciplinary meetings and a complicated town vs gown relationship.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to study or work at many British universities in the 2020s, the Secret Lecturer will have you rattling through a book faster than a panicked undergraduate on an essay deadline.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
