Ministers ‘should have waited’ for review before subject-level TEF move

Subject level independent teaching inspections have been long over due in the university sector. Students undertaking a Common Professional Examination were put into undergraduates lectures where the behaviour of too many of the undergraduate students was unacceptable. On a law Masters course candidates were farmed out across the university slotted into an uncoordinated mish mash of content. In one course the lecturer admitted that she did not understand the SPSS software she was supposed to be teaching. That university boasts every year it has a 98% satisfaction rating. This university has one of the highest number of complaints in the country so that is just is not possible without manipulation of statistics by Keele. Oh yes and that's also the one expanding. Buyer beware.

I would have thought subject level TEF was a non starter in anything more than the 10 largest Universities and even then I feel that the cost to collect the data compared to the "usefulness" of how it might be processed and used in "calculating" the excellence achieved would not be justified. How would you cope with multi subject students; courses, tutorials and lectures delivered on the sites of partners linked with the main University; (let alone subjects taught at HE College satellite locations); subjects taught at overseas locations as part of a course? How useful would such reports be, given the movement of staff within and between Universities from year to year ? In the financial investment sector, the transfers in and out of specific fund managers often has a major influence on investment performance, perhaps the same forces are at work at Universities who have "star" professors, lecturers etc? Asking the OfS to act before the the results of the pilots and the Pearce Report are published looks like another example of the power of the Johnson family to claim Divine Right.
