Marking and Assessment Boycott

Meanwhile, in the UK, members of the University and College Union have begun a marking and assessment boycott as part of the lengthy industrial action they are taking against employers over pay and working conditions. I am no longer involved in UK academia, of course, and indeed I will be spending much of this afternoon correcting class tests, but I know plenty of people who are so I’d like to express my support for this just cause.

I’m taking this opportunity to share this video made by UCU of a presentation about the marking and assessment boycott, which I hope may prove useful.

  1. I wasn’t aware that marking is still done by humans. I thought in the post-ChatGPT era these jobs are obsolete.
