Faculty at R2: What is your teaching load? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #AcademicWorkload
#AcademicTwitter Wondering why my To Do list has doubled in size now semester is essentially done?!? #academicWorkload
I am giving 7 tutorials this week which, considering my primary post is non-teaching… is somewhat revealing to say the least. #academicworkload
What stress looks like: Woke up startled at 4:05am in a panic about a 9am tutorial. Woke up again at 7:20am in more of a panic. Got into the office and got sorted. The tutorial's at 10am. This what the unrelenting #AcademicWorkload does to you. No time to get your bearings.
This account has always shown #AcademicWorkload to be a key contributor to #burnout, but other factors are important as well. One of these factors is agency: personal control over (elements of) your own working environment. 3/
2⃣ My course consists of 50 hours of in-class work (5 per week during 10 weeks) and 150 hours of at-home work. However, I estimate that I only require about 100 hours of at-home work (10 or fewer per week during 10 weeks). #CourseLoad #AcademicWorkload

Academics in marking boycott deducted pay for weekends
Sheffield Hallam says policy means pay deductions are applied ‘fairly and consistently’
Today @WonkHE has published a few pieces on #AcademicWorkload and the related problems of workload in professional services staff. It is really good to see this issue get such strong attention. A short thread to raise the profile of these pieces. 1/
This. The job doesn‘t stop & no-one covers things when you‘re on leave, so you just wind up having to work double hours for the month afterwards. It sometimes just seems more stressful to take leave than to not take leave, which is horrible #AcademicWorkload
Anyone else in HE's famous relaxed summer feel like taking leave is just more trouble than it's worth (as I watch the jobs pile up against the brick wall of tomorrow)? (I know. They won't get done. And things have to fail to show that they have failed. But still)
It’s marking season, and there has been a huge discussion around AI/plagiarism this year. So, does your institution have a #AcademicWorkload allocation for raising/discussing plagiarism in coursework submissions?
This surely has to be part of the #AcademicWorkload problem, yet it is very common to see academics act in openly-hostile ways towards professional services staff and the very *concept* of management. Yes admin needs to be done well, but if it's done well it is a great gift.
A big trend of the last 20 years has been admin headcount reduction, and I am *convinced* it's a big part of our productivity crisis. Instead of one admin on 25k, you make 10 staff on 2-6x the pay do admin they're slow/inefficient at, costing vastly more. True in NHS/gvt/corps.
Halloween is coming, so if you want to scare me I’m afraid of a workload which can be done within a 40h week. #AcademicWorkload
"high levels of #academicworkload and #timepressure predictors of increased #ChatGPT usage - students under significant academic #stress are more likely to turn to generative AI tools for assistance".…naltechnologyjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.11… @duygubektik @ThomasUllmann @chrishedwards @IETatOU
The only way to stop this annual feeling of dread is to drag universities to a place where they allocate proper time and resource to do research and scholarship year round #academicworkload #fourfights
When you are working 60h weeks and reading these plans isn’t a formal part of your #AcademicWorkload model, people - even people who really want to engage - often just have to skip them.
What I don’t get is. If you’re an academic, how is it possible to be sent reasonable adjustment plans and then refuse to implement them or say out loud “oh I’ve not read that” and not lose your job?

This seems like a really positive step from the Union branch, referring the University to the Health and Safety Executive after apparently exhausting internal procedures. An important story to watch for sector-wide #AcademicWorkload
The University of Birmingham is under investigation by the @H_S_E ‘Since 2020, stress has been the largest cause of illness-related absence at the Univ, with over 500 staff off sick directly as a result of stress & over 17,000 days stress-related absence’ birminghamucu.org/2024/10/16/uni…

47:45 “what if… good work is done on workload models… and we work out that we really can’t afford what we’re delivering now? What if we sit down and work it out and see we’re really pulling off a miracle and that it’s… immoral or illegal?” #AcademicWorkload

Really good to see professional bodies like @RoySocChem address burnout explicitly. While burnout is not limited to academia, it is often associated with high #AcademicWorkload when it happens in universities; Chemistry academics may well find this session helpful.

A really interesting read. Academic jobs are so hyper-specialised and scarce/geographically dispersed that quitting is often an incredibly unattractive prospect. That factors like #AcademicWorkload contribute to such extreme decisions is an indictment of the ways we’re managed.
Really interesting exploration of how approaches to prepping lectures might be gendered. This perhaps raises the question of whether “one size” #AcademicWorkload tariffs are sexist structures of management.
Latest publication! I really really enjoyed working on this paper. Special mention to student researchers, Adèle and Bilgesu. "Using expectancy-value theory to understand the teaching motivations of women physics lecturers" journals.aps.org/prper/abstract…
Academics will be like, “I’ve discovered this new guilty pleasure” and it’s just taking weekends off
#AcademicWorkload is likely lower than high-level lawyer/finance workload, but it’s interesting to reflect on how weak the link between productivity and pay can sometimes be.
I tentatively think high lawyer/finance pay is a side effect of the industry having the social allowance to treat its employees in a totalising manner. I regularly see extremely dedicated people working six day weeks closing out tasks 3-4x faster than usual 9-5ers
It’s marking season and working 12 hours a day is incredibly hard. I had the energy to do it in my 20s and 30s but not any more. Our workloads are so huge that no academic I know works the standard 40 hours a week. Most of us are working 50 or more at minimum. I’m so tired.
It’s marking season, and there has been a huge discussion around AI/plagiarism this year. So, does your institution have a #AcademicWorkload allocation for raising/discussing plagiarism in coursework submissions?
A really grim time to work in HE at the moment, but it’s darkly interesting to see how the overwhelming #AcademicWorkload we endure has so little to do with whether managers close your department.

This isn’t a UCU account, but one of the issues in the current #FourFights ballot on industrial action is #AcademicWorkload. Action short of strike can be quite a radicalising event if you’ve never done it before: it’s eye-opening to see how far beyond our contracts we go.

'Lucky' because for the most part I was healthy and able enough to withstand the #AcademicWorkload even if it left me with little time to develop the skills I wanted or attend the conferences I wanted or complete the publications that still languish unfinished

The #AcademicWorkload polling this month was on timescales. This thread has a descriptive round-up of the responses. 1. Broadly speaking, workload is most *intense* on the day-week scale, but most people also find the year scale is intense.
