TQA's pint-sized virtues

Imagine The Diary's surprise as it overheard staff in the physics department at Imperial College, London, extolling the virtues of the TQA.

Having recently survived the trials of a teaching quality assessment - gaining 22 out of a possible 24 in November 1999 - the physicists appeared to be keenly anticipating the next.

Normality resumed when, at the end of the working day, the physicists were seen heading to their TQA - The Queens Arms, a local watering hole.
