The 1st year medicine students are approaching the end of term, and the end of their first year. It’s a long, tough year, but they have one more teaching week next week, a reading week, and then a week of exams. They have some more work to do after that, but we won’t be directly teaching them in lectures. Resit exams will be held in August, and then the new batch start at the beginning of September, so in fact there’s little respite for us teachers. We’re already preparing for next year.
As a side note, Jo Bishop tells me that her planned return date is 22nd January. The first term of anatomy and all of the exams will be mine to prepare then. I hope I can survive that long!
