Hurdlers who stay the course

Article Abstract:

Teachers have had to give careful consideration to the methods employed for continuous student assessment, with factors such as excessive curriculum segmentation and over-assessment also having to be taken into account. Changes in assessment methods have been slowly introduced, although the levels of written and formal work are usually prescribed by university regulations. External examiners must be provided with summative assessments that are easily accessible, even though rising class numbers means teachers have less time to provide students with quality feedback.

A course off the menu

Article Abstract:

Anthropologists first put forward the notion that food represents a method of communicating in the 1970s, but public ridicule of the study of food culture has prevented much research into the concept since that time. The few attempts to research the subject include Michael Nicod's work on the cultural rules controlling food and meals in working-class families in London, England, and a report by American anthropologists on the range of meals, from simple to formal, prepared by four different ethnic groups.
