  • Context really matters:
    • Different understandings of terms and documents: e.g. "outcomes" and "syllabi".
    • Degrees of freedom and accountability
    • Comparisons with the UK Commons indicate that we have aspects of context in common as well.
  • Despite differences in context, we have shared issues concerning teaching within the discipline. I.e. we had things to talk about.
