One page for the termevery tutorial on it

Friday, 9pm

Half of it has gone

The student is left with what they can remember. The best teaching most of us do is the only kind that leaves no trace.

The same evening

Then their page arrives

The tutor checks the draft and issues it. Every action is there, and each one plays back the moment it was said.

Two weeks later

A colleague picks it up

Whoever teaches them next starts from last time: what came up, and with whom.

Across the term

Behind it, the term

Each tutorial stays as it was issued, whoever taught it.

Across the term

Some points keep coming back

Each draft is checked against the tutorial before it. When a point is raised again, it is tied to last time — the thread runs through every tutorial it came up in.

Across the term

Across tutors, too

The thread does not break when a colleague takes the tutorial. Last time is last time, whoever taught it.

Across the term

Nothing to tick off

A thread stops where it stopped being raised. The record is that it came up, and when.

Across the term

Folded back, it is their page

The threads are listed under the tutorial, with every date they came up — for the student, and for whoever teaches them next.
