- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Quality of Teaching in Higher Education: Discussion (20 Jan 2016)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: But it seems to me that Dr. Foley, in his paper, does not come down on the side of what is good teaching or excellence in teaching and that he says it cannot be this, that or the other. I completely disagree with him because when he told us about his youth he remembered teachers who absolutely inspired him with a piece of chalk or an overhead projector. I believe that there are such things...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: It is a cop out to say that it cannot be assessed and that we cannot stand up and say "In this institution or university, this is how we value great teachers, and this is what we think a good, quality or inspiring teacher is."

Marie Louise O'Donnell: I know. We do not want a bust-up conversation between Dr. Foley and myself because we could have that any time. It is not hard to measure learning.

It is another lowering of standards, because...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection: Quality of Teaching in Higher Education: Discussion (20 Jan 2016)
Marie Louise O'Donnell: I was interested in what the witnesses said about the transition from second to third level education and how they think that could be better attended to. There seems to be a huge mattress dip there. I am also interested in the area of education and business. There is so much to ask the witnesses and so much to talk about. What would they do differently on the transition from second to...

Marie Louise O'Donnell: It is a development within communication because all good teaching is about communication on whatever level, and that is what I mean. Sometimes people have PhDs, master's and other experiences but they cannot communicate.
