Cooking at Unite Students Blithehale Court is a relatively relaxed experienced due to the space and equipment provided by the accommodation. The kitchen is well-equipped with equipment such as a stove, oven, microwave and fridge. This allows for students to comfortably store their groceries and cook them in almost anyway possible. Additionally, due to the large space allocated within the communal space of shared kitchens, students will be able to cook comfortably without having to worry about bumping into appliances and potentially triggering the fire alarm.

London Series: Food at International Hall

International Halls provides catering services in their dining hall 2 days everyday; breakfast and dinner on weekdays and lunch and dinner on weekends. It is also possible to order packed meals when students have to be absent from the dining hall at the allotted meal times. Breakfast and Lunch are served to residents where they can choose up to six items on the menu plus a drink and dessert. Dinner is served to residents where they can choose a soup or bread, a main course, 2 sides, a drink and dessert.

Taste:

The taste of the food at International Hall is generally average. There is not much praise to be given for the taste of the food as it is prepared in bulk and difficult to guarantee high quality taste.

Lunch at Breakfast at International Hall can be considered quite decent and even pretty good at times. They serve an english breakfast with selections such as beans, sausages, pastries and fish. Its generally very hard to mess these sorts of food up so the catering staff are able to do a relatively satisfactory job. An interesting tip is to choose bread with eggs and sausages to make a sandwich. Another tip is to just order as many chicken sausages (don’t order the vegetarian sausages they’re terrible) and eat them with a few packets of salt. Also, if you are in a hurry for a morning class taking 6 butter croissants (usually served on Fridays and the only type of croissants that won’t hurt your teeth when you bite into them) to go as they are relatively filling.

Dinner at International Hall can be quite depressing. Not much of the selection is very good and almost never filling but at least they attempt to diversify the selections every week. A personal favourite amongst the students is the chicken, but not the tasteless chicken breast, which is usually served with gravy and surprisingly tender to the bite. This main course option is one of the only saving graces that the catering service at International Hall has to offer and its not even that good. Furthermore, a dish that should be definitely be avoided are any noodle dishes. The noodle dishes served at International Hall are generally quite bland and heavy with garnishes that don’t add to the flavour but make it more difficult to eat. Ever choosing a noodle dish would be a grave mistake and whoever ends up doing that should be prepared to shell out a few pounds on dinner from an outside source.

The drinks served at International Hall are generally quite good as they are . They usually serve two selections of juices from either apple, orange and lime juice with soft drinks. Sometimes the soft drink machine is not filled correctly and all you will get is fizzy water coming out of the tap.

Masa Depan Pendidikan atau Sekedar Hype? Kebangkitan Minerva, Universitas paling Selektif di Dunia

Sebuah startup Silicon Valley dapat menawarkan templat bagi universitas yang mengalihkan studi mereka secara online karena virus corona.

Tidak ada yang bisa menuduh CEO dan pengusaha Ben Nelson kurang ambisi. “Saya ingin membuat universitas yang berfungsi sebagai model bagi institusi lain, dengan menjadi universitas terbaik di dunia yang tak terbantahkan,” katanya, melompat-lompat di video call dari kantornya di San Francisco. “Kecuali jika Anda menunjukkan bahwa Anda adalah yang terbaik, bahwa Anda dapat memberikan pendidikan yang tidak dapat dicapai oleh Harvard, Cambridge, dan Oxford, tidak ada yang akan mendengarkan. Dan kami melakukan hal itu. “

Salah satu hasil imbang adalah kurikulum Minerva yang tidak biasa, yang berakar pada kampanye mahasiswa Nelson di University of Pennsylvania 25 tahun lalu. “Saya menyadari bahwa perguruan tinggi pada dasarnya gagal dalam janji mereka untuk mendidik,” katanya. “Pendidikan seni liberal seharusnya mengajarkan siswa untuk berpikir bebas, kritis dan logis. Tetapi universitas elit kami tidak lagi melakukan itu sama sekali. ”

Penawaran Minerva sangat berbeda dari yang biasa dilakukan sebagian besar siswa Inggris, sebelum pandemi virus corona menggeser universitas secara online. Tidak ada ruang kuliah, gedung fakultas, atau ujian. Semua pengajaran dilakukan melalui kelas video online. Hanya ada satu program studi untuk tahun-tahun pertama, dan daripada membaca matematika atau sejarah, siswa mengambil kursus yang bertujuan untuk mengajarkan keterampilan yang dapat ditransfer seperti berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah, melalui kelas bernama “komunikasi multimodal”, “analisis empiris” dan ” sistem yang kompleks ”. Spesialisasi mata pelajaran dipilih di tahun kedua. Tidak ada kampus; para siswa ditempatkan di aula tempat tinggal di San Francisco pada tahun pertama mereka. Kelompok tahun berikutnya menghabiskan semester dengan berbagai cara di Seoul, Hyderabad, Berlin, Buenos Aires, London dan Taipei.

Sebuah Alternatif Untuk Memperbesar Universitas di Musim Gugur Ini

Terlepas dari aspirasi banyak pemimpin yang memiliki pendidikan lebih tinggi, Sebagian besar kampus perguruan tinggi Amerika tidak akan dibuka kembali pada musim gugur ini. Meskipun sebagian besar universitas awalnya dimaksudkan untuk kembali ke normal seperti sebelumnya, pada 31 Juli 2020, hanya 24% dari perguruan tinggi yang berencana untuk sepenuhnya dibuka, menurut Chronicle of Higher Education.

Bukti secara konsisten menunjukkan bahwa siswa cenderung belajar lebih sedikit lewat online daripada tatap muka. Meskipun pendidikan virtual yang efektif mungkin dilakukan, studi online yang bagus membutuhkan waktu bertahun-tahun untuk merancang dan melibatkan lebih dari sekadar mengunggah rekaman kuliah ke YouTube atau mengadakan diskusi kelas melalui konferensi video.

Sebuah studi oleh William Alpert, Kenneth Couch, dan Oskar Harmon menegaskan kemanjuran pendekatan ini. Para penulis secara acak menugaskan siswa dalam kursus ekonomi mikro pengantar untuk mengambil kelas dalam salah satu dari tiga cara: secara langsung, online, atau keduanya. Bagian tatap muka bertemu dua kali seminggu, dengan satu sesi dikhususkan untuk kuliah dan yang lain untuk diskusi. Bagian online melihat materi kuliah di internet (pada waktu mereka sendiri) dan berpartisipasi dalam forum diskusi online yang tidak sinkron. Siswa di bagian “blended” menonton rekaman kuliah online, tetapi bertemu secara fisik sekali seminggu untuk diskusi kelas secara langsung.

Sekolah Tinggi Dengan Alumni yang Paling Bahagia dan Sukses

Cara terbaik untuk mengevaluasi pendidikan perguruan tinggi empat tahun sebenarnya hanya berkisar satu variabel. Pada intinya, tujuan dari sebagian besar perguruan tinggi adalah untuk menghasilkan lulusan yang bahagia dan sukses. Jadi alih-alih menghitung metrik ROI (Return on Investment) biasa – seperti statistik pekerjaan, gaji dan statistik penempatan kerja – Forbes mengembangkan peringkat kepemilikan yang kita sebut Grateful Graduates Index.

Indeks ini peringkat perguruan tinggi swasta nirlaba dengan lebih dari 500 siswa menggunakan dua variabel, seperti yang dilaporkan ke Departemen Pendidikan, dan tingkat partisipasi alumni, atau persentase lulusan yang memberikan kembali dalam bentuk sumbangan ke perguruan tinggi mereka setiap tahun, terlepas dari jumlah dolar. Tingkat partisipasi alumni, yang disusun oleh Dewan untuk Kemajuan dan Dukungan Pendidikan (CASE), rata-rata selama tiga tahun. Total sumbangan median dolar diberikan bobot 70% dalam indeks dan partisipasi alumni diberikan 30%.
