They will have no memories of the 20th century, which just happens to be the same century their lecturers were born and educated within.

it exposes students to the delicious complexities of pedagogy and schooling. I''m very fortunate to be the module leader of this presentation, and although it was initially a daunting prospect to manage a final year module for 200 students and an excellent team of around 15 lecturers and seminar leaders, I''m really warming to the task.
