We shouldn't use large classes as an excuse to treat students as objects to be
processed rather than individuals to be treated with respect. We may need to
enrol the insights of tutors and demonstrators to tune in to the range of
students' experience. It is good practice to model our concern for students'
perspectives with all colleagues with whom we work. Inducting new staff
into this way of looking at teaching, learning and assessment may be the
most effective mentoring we can do.
