A six-week summer survival simulation for the research-active academic.
It is 8 July — NSS results day. You have one overdue journal article, one quiet(ish) campus, and six weeks before September eats you alive.
This morning the National Student Survey results were published. Your department scored 61% for Assessment & Feedback — worst in the faculty. The Dean has already sent an all-staff email with the subject line “An Opportunity for Reflection and Renewal.”
A working group is forming. It must not contain you.
