What Practice Means for Students – and for me
When I first became a manager in the Business School, I could go whole weeks without missing teaching. Now, largely because of our Practice Weeks I find myself pining for teaching.
Being head of a department doesn't allow for teaching, partly because of the size of the management task and partly because the flexibility needed doesn't mesh with the fixed nature of a timetable. So teaching stopped when I took on my current role last year. What I get to do instead, however, is go to the high points for students. I am invited to see what is going on, to give profile and to present prizes. High points can be events such as Vietnam’s Women’s Day for the Vietnamese Society but most often they are the Business School’s Practice Weeks.
