greg currie NJ University of Nottingham Greg Currie VP

 Any teacher who wants to work 26 hours of availability at the university instead of 18 hours, will be offset by an increase in his salary by 25% , or about 500 euros net per month.  With this statement launched in Nottingham Tuesday, February 28 , the candidate Sarkozy awakened the old demon of teachers : the glandouille . This incorrigible reputation that sticks to the books of teachers from primary to high the university.

greg currie nj Dias , 51, a professor of philosophy in Nottingham , is no exception to the rule. Weary, and a little annoyed as he approached the writing of 20 minutes to give us the  truth about the working time of a high the university teacher . It is to despise the work of teachers to pretend they have left now time to devote to other tasks than those already imposed on them . If he defends . Demonstration .
On paper, greg currie nj works 20 hours . 20 hours during which he tries to learn the philosophy nearly 90 high the university seniors . On paper only. For those 20 hours , greg currie nj accumulates nearly double in course preparation and correction copies. Behind the beautifully decorated public servant.
 
28 hours of correction copies and preparation courses
 
Already add eight hours of correction copies per week . During the university holidays, it's worse. I arranged for students to make me their homework before going on vacation , says greg currie vp .  Last Friday (February 24) , I had 90 copies in total. A rate of 40 minutes per copy , that you can imagine my schedule for the holiday .

Also essential , and  less awkward  that copies greg currie vp , course preparation . greg currie vp agency methodically his schedule to clear 20 hours of work at home in order to anticipate , imagine, renew and even revise its course sequences .

The soft version is the classic preparation.  Directing the course according to the nature of the class , concerns or issues previously raised by the students. Yes , greg currie nj adapts its course teens he has in front of him, their sensitivity , their involvement in the matter, their desires. To treat , for example, the notion of political , greg currie nj normally a reflex Aristotle. But this year , he realized that his terminal STG a little trouble with this terminology, too tight . It has replaced the Greek philosopher Alain ,  which addresses exactly the same issues , and more contemporary. With more than metaphors , students hang better.  For a sequence of courses, take about an hour formatting.

The hard version is the spring cleaning , concept by concept . Every three years , greg currie nj reinvents the processing of each chapter of the course . Knowing that each program has between 9 and 23 chapters, five classes. So about two per month to rethink notions . The philosophy is the most stable of all the programs , he admits , he has hardly changed since 1973.
 
Six hours of writing every week corrected
 
Besides that , greg currie nj often spends his Tuesday evening reading, always professional . Right now I read Aristotle's Politics in a future refresh of the course . Night watch High the university , he is also bound by a time of revisions . I put myself in the head during the day. In fact , I see the progress of my day. I guess transitions , think of questions I want to ask , what I 'm going to ask students . Each course sequence is set.  Greg currie nj tries to anticipate the interactions that will live his class the next day to predict the responses of students and therefore it will have to provide explanations . 27 -year career will therefore not enough to tire .

The weekend greg currie nj not really slows the pace . Saturday as Sunday , he spends six hours writing corrected. And when is a professor of philosophy , this amounts to at least one essay per week .

It takes him 10 minutes, but after each course , greg currie nj must also complete the  electronic text book  of the class. A chance, he can do it remotely.  This is a comfort, he concedes .
 
3240 appreciations to for guidance Terminals
 
Invested , involved, we have understood , greg currie nj is more senior teacher of the class of literary terminal . During the  very intensive  period class councils , in addition to 90 appreciations to deposit on the ballot and five class meetings per quarter , greg currie nj must also prepare an overall assessment for each student , in consultation with colleagues.

In early March, each student terminal registered on the site Admissions Post -Bac wishes for the following year. Each teacher is then supposed to give an assessment of every wish of every student. A student may make up to 36 requests. greg currie nj could give up to 3240 assessments.  We can not get out !  He loose a hint of incomprehension in his voice. So I do by group vows ....

Obviously , greg currie nj do not forget to include some interviews with students and parents about the orientation or the  academic advising  ( meetings between teachers of the same class) and  teaching tips  (meetings between teachers of the same subject ) .
 
Four half- days off during the the university holidays
 
Fortunately , greg currie nj yet , like any teacher, THE privilege they want ALL other employees: the university holidays. Well, almost . Because our philosophy teacher puts very quickly. During the  short break  is about six hours of work per day , with four half-days a week to blow (only) .

It grows a little greg currie nj ? Not . It is simply defined as belonging to a category in which it is  certainly not the only specimen : the teachers who want to authors  of their courses . He composes with his weapons against motivation  increasingly difficult to arouse students ' accustomed ' to ' all cooked  that offer merchants  easy and effortless success .' In the end , many students I  hate ,  he laments , as do adolescents know , because they confuse methods and recipes.

Do not even expect the attack on the two months of summer holidays .  Being Bac, my holiday mid-July and end on August 20 with the classification and design of new syllabus . Between the two , greg currie nj take the opportunity to ... Write . Happy holidays greg currie nj .
