Listening to the animals

Article Abstract:

The Scottish Centre for Animal Welfare Sciences was set up at the end of 1990. The Centre is thought to be the world's biggest national multidisciplinary organisation researching animal welfare. Its prime interest is disseminating information to assist those preparing legal and other codes of practice on the treatment of farm animals. Researchers aim to provide data to enable recommendations to be based on evidence rather than assumptions derived from human experience. The centre has over 50 members spread over 14 universities, colleges and research establishments.

A rough guide to lecturing

Article Abstract:

British lecturers often give their first lecture without any formal training, since it is assumed that they are competent lectures just because they have achieved high academic qualifications. A book entitled In at the Deep End is comprised of 15 personal accounts of lecturers who have experienced the difficult teaching route, and includes hints for future lecturers.
