DIY Tutoring
University Tutors
In a British university, what exactly is a “don”, “lecturer”, “instructor”, “tutor”, “reader”?
How do these compare to US university titles of Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor. Are there any other faculty titles in British universities that I have missed?
A don is a faculty member at Oxford/Cambridge/Durham who lives in the colleges with the students
Instructor isn’t an academic title – it’s just a person teaching a course.
Lecturer is like Assistant Professor, except lecturers will be on permanent contracts in some cases, as promotion and tenuring are independent in Britain.
Senior Lecturer and Reader are both roughly the equivalent of Associate Professor. Reader is generally considered to be a more prestigious position, but many universities are trying to re-define these things so that reader is a more research intensive position, and senior lecturer is more teaching intensive (although both contain a mix of teaching and research). The salary scale is identical for the two ranks.
Tutor is usually like undergraduate academic advisor, although there are also positions like admissions tutor for the faculty member in charge of the department’s undergraduate admissions.

The Oxford Practice Skills Course: Ethics, Law, and Communication Skills in Health Care Education $121.37 Ethics, communication skills, and the law (‘practice skills’) are important in all aspects of modern health care. Doctors and nurses must be sensitive to the ethical aspects of their work and understand the legal framework within which clinical decisions are made. Well developed skills ofcommunication, with patients, their relatives and other members of the clinical team, are a key feature of good clinical practice Until recently, the important of practice skills has been relatively neglected in health care education. This situation is changing. The UK General Medical Council, for example, has recently identified three aspects as part of the core of the medical course, and the move to degree courses innursing has led to an increasing focus of practice skills in nurse education. The Oxford Practice Skills Project (OPSP) team have developed a course, within the University of Oxford Clinical School, which covers the teaching of practice skills in an integrated manner. This course is widely recognized as one of the most systematic developments of education in these areas. This manual describes the OPSP course in detail and provides teaching materials. Although developed initially for medical students, it should be helpful to all those involved in teaching ethics, communication skills, and law in health care. Each Seminar is described in detail Tutors’ guides are provided Student handouts are included Contains guidelines for introducing ‘practice skills’ into a busy clinical curriculum Includes over forty case histories for teaching and examination Gives details of many useful sources and resources Details a variety of teaching methodstogether with their advantages and disadvantages Provides an ethics teaching toolkit for clinical teachers new to this area Readers are welcome to photocopy any part of this manual for their own teaching |
