Hi there, studies suggest that imposter syndrome is very common (affecting ~90% students and staff). I suspect part of the problem is that the universities are so old and famous that it creates a sense of "why me". The good side of it is that it keeps everyone intellectually humble, and it means that there is very little of the sort of unbridled arrogance that we're often accused of!
@@JesusCollegeOxford1571 😮 I actually didn't know that staff were affected too! That is very insightful thank you! Arrogance definitely is something it combats! I wonder if it ever has an affect on their mental wellbeing and their studies/work. I'm going to look into this further, thank you for your input!
"Kun je als Oxford-docent ingaan op de strategieën en benaderingen die door Oxford University worden gebruikt om potentiële intelligentie bij studenten te activeren en te koesteren, wat het kan onderscheiden van andere universiteiten? In het bijzonder, welke pedagogische methoden, academische ondersteuningssystemen of unieke aspecten van de Oxford-ervaring dragen bij aan de intellectuele ontwikkeling en groei van studenten op een manier die Oxford onderscheidt als een instelling?"
One of the unique features of an Oxford education are our very small class sizes. We focus our teaching on tutorials, where there cannot typically be more than three students with a tutor. Students will have at least two of these tutorials per week, alongside lectures, seminars, lab sessions and more. By having these tiny classes, we can more further and faster through tricky material than would be possible at most other universities.
