    Just picked it up today, and I read it on the bus home there. I thought it was good, but some of the headlines were somewhat misleading (such as the student boycott of the sports hall when it didn't actually mention anything of a boycott of the sports hall in the article, and the 'numbers released today' from the SU elections back at the start of March!)

    The memoirs of a postgraduate was interesting, but went quite off-topic, and the editorial was good, I enjoyed reading that.

    What say you?

    Thought the article on semesterisation and modularisation was potentially most interesting, but wished we could have a bit more detail - lots of vague assertions. Seems odd we couldn't, since the Education Officer was the source, and presumably didn't mind talking to the Record

    - what are the many good reasons, looking at it globally, for two semesters?
    - what are the 'emotive issues' which seem to be the only argument for keeping Hilary term break?
    - what is this apparent plan D on modularisation as a sort of broader broad curriculum which has been under consideration since the beginning of the year, but wasn't in any of the consultation documents?
    - and this summer semester for dissertations etc: presume this is only masters/postgraduate and not for fourth-year projects?

    (Not quoting, just recalling I hope, have lost my copy)


    Didn't mind the modularisation plans too much, have problems (of a non-emotive sort) with the particular form of semesterisation. A couple of weeks' break in Spring (under any name) and I'd be much happier. And couldn't quite gather from the article whether the SU has already signed up to all this?
