report writing

• Report Writing has Improved Greatly

For teachers, the summer term is the busiest time for report writing. School reports have always encouraged teachers to be honest and open about how students are progressing. However, in the past we were often guilty of trying to save time. Instead of saying that this student had done no work at all and showed no ability whatsoever, we used to say "could do better"; instead of waxing lyrical about the outstanding skills and insights of our best students, we tended to say "above average" or "good".

• It Would Only Cost Eur 14bn to Fix Negative Equity? Right Now and Save the Economy! ; Adjunct Lecturer in Finance, Trinity College [Eire Region]

THIS week, we finally learned the official figure for what it would cost to address one of the biggest problems facing this country. According to the Keane Report, writing off negative equity for all Irish mortgages will cost 'in the region of EUR 14bn'. Doing the same just for mortgages taken out between 2006 and 2008 would require some EUR 10bn. These numbers are truly staggering, not because they are so high, but the opposite: because they contrast the State's unwillingness to help families caught in the gravest economic crisis we have ever faced with the relatively low cost it would take to do so.

• Degree of Investment ; Recruitment [Scot Region]

TIME was when you chose to study for a degree in a subject you loved but while that's still important, getting a return on your Pounds 27,000 investment must now also be taken into account. So which subject gives you the best chance of getting a job? 'Computer science,' says Dan Hawes of the Graduate Recruitment Bureau (GRB), which has placed thousands of graduates in their first jobs. 'Based on the past five years, computer science graduates come out top.' Pamela Yeung, 22, graduated from King's College London in computer science with management last year.
