Some quotes I use at the outset when delivering generic workshops, to help manage expectations: “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think” – Socrates “For the things we have to learn before we can do, we learn by doing” – Aristotle [https://www.bangor.ac.uk/common/img/email/logo-a2b.png]<https://www.bangor.ac.uk/> Dr Leila Griffiths SFHEA Cynghorwr Astudio Canolfan Sgiliau Astudio [https://www.bangor.ac.uk/common/img/email/iaith-gwaith-16.png]Rydw i’n siarad Cymraeg E-bost: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Ffôn: 01248 382712 Prifysgol Bangor, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2DG [https://www.bangor.ac.uk/common/img/email/twitter-16.png]@prifysgolbangor<https://twitter.com/prifysgolbangor> [https://www.bangor.ac.uk/common/img/email/facebook-16.png] /PrifysgolBangor<https://www.facebook.com/PrifysgolBangor> Dr Leila Griffiths SFHEA Study Adviser Study Skills Centre [https://www.bangor.ac.uk/common/img/email/iaith-gwaith-16.png]I speak Welsh Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Phone: 01248 382712 Bangor University, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2DG [https://www.bangor.ac.uk/common/img/email/twitter-16.png]@BangorUni<https://twitter.com/BangorUni> [https://www.bangor.ac.uk/common/img/email/facebook-16.png] /BangorUniversity<https://www.facebook.com/BangorUniversity> [FfRhA Aur] [TEF Gold] Oddi wrth: learning development in higher education network <[log in to unmask]> Ar ran/On Behalf Of Johnson, Sarah Anfonwyd: 02 August 2018 15:06 At: [log in to unmask] Pwnc: Re: Literary quotes for learning development walls Surely no list of quotations is complete without a word or two from that bear: Of discussion: “When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.” Pooh ☺ From: learning development in higher education network <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> On Behalf Of Helen Webster Sent: 02 August 2018 15:02 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Literary quotes for learning development walls I love the scope of these! They're thought-provoking and relevant to the kinds of things students question. I think the danger of using very literary quotations about writing in particular is that the kind of writing they tend to focus on is so far removed from what many students do and care about that they are the opposite of inspiring - imagine an engineering student with a report to write who's faced with something flowery and shakespearian about the joys of literature or literary reading - it's possibly going to be more alienating than inspiring and maybe make them think that these learning or writing developers are on some other ethereal plane with more idealistic concerns than relate to the student's mundane situation. I love that the ones on this list are literary but also practical, grounded and validating the kind of dark thoughts that many students - and staff - have about writing, and show that they're not alone! as another medievalist, I'm going to offer Nicholas of Cusa: “For even he who is most greedy for knowledge can achieve no greater perfection than to be thoroughly aware of his own ignorance in his particular field. The more be known, the more aware he will be of his ignorance.” On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 2:25 PM, Jayne Richards <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Dear Michelle, I would be interested in a collated list from the group!

The broad themes they have suggested are learning, development, education, support... And the deadline they have sprung is today, so I am seeking some help from our community of creative and well-read Learning Developers. Hopefully it might provide an interesting displacement activity for a Friday afternoon. What literary quotes would you like to represent you and your service?
