There were, of course, many on my course who decided not to engage, but that was not due to the lack of effort on my university’s part. It was a crazy and difficult time and my course lecturers did an amazing job in the circumstances.

I was a first year mature student at Nottingham Trent University when covid hit. I have nothing but praise and respect for how the lecturers turned the course into an online offering, being available for help, advice and encouragement as much as possible. 1/2

Historians: this is the archaeological equivalent (morally if not legally) of cutting pictures out of medieval manuscripts in a library and selling them on eBay.
