After a terrific discussion in class today, a student of mine said "I love this book." Which book, you might ask? #TheScarletLetter. Day made.

#WhyWeTeach

Final lab meeting with our #microbiology students: "On day 2 I wondered 'Why do these teachers need to throw us in this bathtub full of question marks?!' But then of course THAT'S CALLED TEACHING. So start solving these problems."
This lady really learnt something <3 <3
Made me think of Gustave Thibon: "Le mystère n'est pas un mur où l'intelligence se brise, c'est un océan où l'intelligence se perd."
This is #whyweteach #education #edutooter #university #highered

TFW one of your exam prep students Whatssapps you 1st thing in the morning to share his better-than-expected results thanks you for all your teaching.

(for those in the know, he got a solid C2 on Cambridge Advanced -- he was hoping for a C1).

I could not be happier for him.
