University’s move is part of trend that critics within academia say will lead to further staff cuts and the loss of ‘everything that makes the job worth doing’

One student, who asked to remain anonymous, said they felt “short-changed” after issues with their degree structure forced them to enrol in the online option.

“Instead of a group discussion or a tutor teaching you, it’s a class activity done with a robot,” the student said. “I feel like I’m teaching this robot how to take jobs away from my teachers.”

    How hilarious that this happened in a Psychology department.

    Unless it is some Postgrad’s experiment as part of their doctorate in Psychology…

    One would think that psychologists of all people would know better. But I guess these kinds of decisions get made by bean counters, not by scientists.
