This is a really useful list - particularly the 10% one. And number 7 is a great idea; this bit always trips me up because I rush to guess the words I can’t hear and answer without checking back that my ‘fill in the blanks’ guess is anywhere close to what they said.

Becoming FHEA through a Post-Grad Cert of Academic Practice @uniofbeds was one of my best professional experiences. The course materials were intense but inspirational and I looked forward to every workshop. I even enjoyed a group assessment for the first time: converted now! #FestivalofFellowship

This week’s Guardian Books cartoon.
A diagram of a complex mechanism for readers.
The caption explains “when the quantity of unread books reaches a specific weight, the mechanism restricts the reader’s ability to add to their stockpile until the backlog has been reduced.”
The “restriction” is achieved by placing a cloche over the reader’s credit card, library card and bookshop loyalty card, and smashing their internet router with a mallet.
