Not true for teachers and lecturers. They have to spend all their time off marking, or doing lesson plans, preparing lesson material, or doing the paperwork required by the latest government initiative.

hope you are not serious - they do feck all , I was a lecturer for a year (when kids were little) all they do is is look at old lecture notes and re cycle them year after year - as for marking best way is to take the course work home and drop all down the stairs, the essay that makes it all the way down gets an A , half way a B and top of the stairs is a C.... one other colleagues said if a students hands in anything - I mean anything even a blank page with his name on it- then he'll pass him/her...

Don't get me started about the nurses ( the olde here would know my nursing story ) anyhow all they have to do is about 5-10 minutes worth of writing and they constantly complain, FFS of course the nurses have to write down what care/medications they have given their patients, and of course they have to order new supplies, who else is going to do it for them??

No, depends on what you lecture in. The brighter ones have to create the actual course materials (yes, someone has to create it) so that the others can copy it over and over later on.

Marking needs to contain feedback and guidance. Not an A, B or C ranking. One is supposed to make constructively critical remarks. Did you (as a lecturer) not know this?

Clearly you are the typical Public Sector 'lecturer' - a slacker and an idler, with no passion for, or interest in the job. Thankfully, there are others who have ideals and commitment.

True - but very few did this - actually I was the only one in the dept who wrote her own lecture notes
