Teaching Matters Experiential Learning

FEBRUARY 3, 2017

Dr Neil Hudson, Senior Veterinary Clinical Lecturer at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Director of the Undergraduate Certificate in Veterinary Medical Education reflects on the benefits of enabling undergraduate students to participate in teaching. In 2014 we introduced the Undergraduate Certificate in Veterinary Medical Education with the aim of developing a process that formally recognises the important role that students play in teaching and learning processes.

It’s hard to sum up one week of a somewhat overwhelming amount of new things, but I’ll use pictures to make up for a lack of words. After three hours of sitting on the plane waiting for Delta’s computer system to come back online, the flight from Atlanta to Rome went smoothly. Even from the air, Italy was a stunning sight to take in and it still hasn’t stopped impressing me.

Teaching Matters is the University of Edinburgh’s website for debate about learning and teaching, for sharing ideas and approaches to teaching, and for showcasing our successes, including academic colleagues who are leading the way in delivering brilliant teaching. Every month Teaching Matters takes a theme and explores it through a number of blog contributions over the month.

Teaching Matters Student Employment

FEBRUARY 1, 2017

We are inclined to think of uncertainty as a negative thing. The world beyond university insists that we need to have everything “figured out” as soon as possible. Jobs are scarce and a university degree will no longer guarantee immediate employment. After we leave Higher Education, we apparently find ourselves pitted against each other, competing for those scarce job opportunities.

Art of Vet Student, a joint student/staff initiative, has been running at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies since 2013. “Art of Vet Student” aims to give vet students a creative medium to express what being a Vet student is all about as well as being fun! Students are left to interpret the theme as they wish and can use whatever medium they want – from painting, drawing, collage, photograph, prose or poetry (everything is “allowed”).

Happy Monday, readers! Miraculously, after writing last week’s blog, I feel a lot better about being busy this semester. I feel like writing that blog post put a lot of things in perspective for me and I’m at terms with my workload for the semester. My new goal is to get most of my homework done during the weekends so that my weeks are a little less hectic.
