University lecturer strikes

It depends what subjects they’re doing, and where. If it’s an arts subject, they should find out the syllabus and read up on it by themselves. That’s what we were expected to do anyway, admittedly a long time ago, but it wasn’t very different for my sons.

If it’s a science that requires lab work, that’s probably different.

I'm a university lecturer & most of us really care about the students & hate the thought of striking.
However the disparity in pay levels between those of us who actually teach the students & management has become frightening (most of those on a high grade will rarely come across an actual student)
I suspect that any topics that have not been taught will be covered later on or not form part of the exam or coursework.
I agree that fees are too high & 8 hours contact time per week is very low.
I believe the government are going to look at this (& rightly so).
I do hope that your granddaughters enjoy their university experience & make use of all the resources available to them..

My elder granddaughter is in her third year, no lectures for several weeks, younger daughter in her first year, has had two lectures in the last three weeks.
