Get research to tie the knot

Article Abstract:

Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, England, Education Developer Alan Jenkins points out universities have an obligation to make sure students benefit from research and teaching. He suggests the introduction of fee paying, by parents and students, means the students have the right to know more about the research being undertaken by staff. Jenkins feels teaching and research should be linked. He points out staff often do not want to separate research and teaching. Some good research universities, in the US, were found not to be giving the same standard of teaching to their students.
