Chess and scrabble
Dear all,
Well finally the PSA centre is coming into shape. I bought a chess/draughts set and also a scrabble set to further entertain users of the PSA. As if procrastinating postgrads need any further excuse to while their time away in the PSA ... or maybe that was just me!
I mentioned in the last post that I was meeting Sarah Moore, the Dean for Teaching and Learning, this week to discuss some sort of training for tutors. Those of you who receive ITD Subscriber Mail will have seen the email that went around yesterday evening regarding starter advise for tutors and TAs. This workshop arose as a direct result from my meeting with Sarah, who was extremely receptive to my ideas. I urge people to attend this workshop, as even if you are an experienced tutor you may still pick up some useful advise about teaching.
As for other news, I attended Academic Council this week. This meeting was primarily for the ratification of exam results, and as student reps are not allowed into that, it was a very short meeting. I also met with Ray who books events in Dolans, and we are in the midst of putting together Reel Loco, a night devoted to celebrating Latin American and Irish culture. It's all pie in the sky at the moment, but I'll let you know more as things get firmed up.
That's all for now, keep in touch
