John Dearn argued for an undergraduate teaching model that emphasised 3-year progressive development of scholarly skills and knowledge.
Personally, I liked the positioning of scholarship as the main goal for tertiary education - but I did think this was kind of obvious. There was a lot of comment about poor quality tertiary education not living up to this basic mission or raison d'etre of universities. However, I felt that John was overly promoting a vain hope for a monolithic, grand vision - I think society and tertiary education is moving more towards flexible, multi-pathway, modularised, cross-institutional, distributed etc. education.
