Dear All,<br>
<br>
At the recent Departmental Committee meeting we discussed the
provision of teaching by Research Staff. Many of you already
contribute to the Department's teaching, through demonstrating,
lecturing , project supervision, etc., and these contributions are
very much appreciated. At this point in time we need to ask that all
members of Research Staff provide between a minimum of 2 hrs/wk and
a maximum of 4 hrs/wk of teaching unless their contracts explicitly
forbid it. This is driven in part by rising student numbers and by
reduced funds available to cover post-graduate student teaching but
also by the need to provide the highest quality teaching and
hopefully useful career development opportunities. There is urgency
as the term is about to start and Nigel will be in contact shortly
with an indication of the task he'd like you to take on. If you want
to discuss any aspect of this please send an email to myself, copied
to Nigel.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your support,<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Rob<br>
