I have been looking at these results today in the media and wondering what importance to attach to them, given that places like LSE and Southampton, well respected RG unis, have come out so badly.
I am aware that the testing methods are a bit untried and untested, but also that some prestigious unis seem to rest on their laurels. Also, the previous ratings, by research quality, does suggest that some lecturers will be more keen on furthering their research than teaching students, which is what the students are paying increasingly large sums/running up debts to pay for.
This will not affect me until next year, and obviously the results have come too late to affect decisions for this year. However, in principle the basis of the testing seems sensible, but how much value to attach?
