Last barbecue of the year? Maybe

One more top tip: there is no one better than an English teacher and director of an educational charity to proof-read your book!

Kotshena by Kiss Facility. Heard this at a wedding at the Mena House Hotel by the pyramids in Giza. Lovely.

It’s important to put a ‘use of AI’ statement on our modules. Here’s mine:

Pick a verb

But if you treat data artefacts of a financial model as being more real than actual cash and real costs, then eliminating non-existent marginal costs while rejecting surplus income is where you end up. History will not be kind. 5/5

Cutting a joint honours degree - even with tiny numbers of students in it - is simply throwing away their fee income for ZERO saving in cost. It is the dumbest thing that a bunch of clueless, non-teaching consultants can advise an unthinking management team to do. 4/5

Joint honours degrees and pathways are easily designed with existing modules, existing staff, existing buildings, and with only a tiny increase in other facilities. 3/5

If Degree A has 100 students and Degree B has 50 students, then the joint Degree AB brings in almost pure surplus - whether that is another 50 students or only 5 students. 2/5

If Dept A and Dept B have 10 modules each for their degrees, say - then they can run 5 of those modules each as a joint honours course at virtually no extra cost at all. 1/5
