Notes reported from work table 5: dealing with increasing student numbers

• increases are evident at top universities, maybe not at smaller ones
• pressure on (physical) learning spaces
• pressure at extreme hours of the day
• dissatisfaction with less direct teaching approaches
• are online lectures the new norm?
• when we are actually allowed to recruit new staff, can we fnd them?
• teaching in trimesters proposed as a solution to numbers but have many other problems
