So when do Teesside Uni students go back?

Seems as if students are getting it but not affected much. Maybe our Super Mayors, Council, Police etc can all get together and arrange for the students to be restricted to certain pubs, restaurants etc in the town around the Uni and the locals use other ones such as the established pubs like the Isaac Wilson, Central, Linny etc. It may take some organising but at least the local establishments can still make money, people can still go out and there would be some normality in the town?

What about local students, where do they fit in ?
 
Open University charges 6.5K a year so what I would do is give the students a 3K refund but have the government make up the loss to the universities.

Hermmmmmmmmmmm because they are not using the university facilities for one.
I have completed three courses during lockdown that had been reduced due to being virtual.

Most Unis are doing blended learning with face to face tutorials & online lectures.
Library is still open, you've still got access to academics etc.
 
I delivered a 3 hour online seminar this afternoon, my first real teaching of the academic year.
My preference, and I think most of the students, would be for face to face delivery. On the other hand, today has gone better than I could have hoped, and several students have since been in touch to say how engaged they were.

I still hope to be back in the classroom before long, but I'm not seeing a reason why students lives should be put on hold due to covid restrictions. For most of them studying is a means to an end, not the end itself, and they don't want to delay their journey.

I totally get that but feel uni life is not what they expected - socially or academically.

Brilliant, what do you teach? I bet you are putting a lot of preparation into your online teaching as well?

I can see the argument for reduced tuition fees but I've heard from lecturers that have said they are working more hours now than ever before.
