Arts and
humanities subjects are notorious for minimal contact hours, especially
compared subjects such as Law and Medicine. Although after a messy night out we
may be grateful for this. Contact hours have been compromised due to the
digitalisation of the education system. With lectures being overly dependent on
PowerPoint and digital communication, human interaction has been lost within
teaching. Many argue we do not need a high number of contact hours, as
independent learning takes priority over organised teaching. We agree with this
to a certain extent; lectures are important and as university students we do not
expect to be ‘spoon-fed’. However, the skills that we bring to the workforce
need to be addressed and enhanced within the university education system.
Technology should work to further academic ends, not replace and simplify them.

literally just paying for a reading list at this point. contact hours are way too low in history
Agree. Especially as we are paying so much for university we should have a decent amount of contact hours.
This is exactly my problem, too many times I have felt as though my lecturer is not sufficient enough in supplimenting the module, although only one of my lecturer uploads podcasts, there is not enough versatility or creative methods in learning
This petition is bullshit. It undermines the cause of free education and your all wrong...
This is true for all subjects even the sciences, seminars and tutorials should make up a much greater proportion of our contact time to justify the £9000 fees we are all paying.
fuck em all
I agree completely

paying 9 grand to sit at home reading slides is a joke. we need actual seminars for that kind of money
