Having a rare disease #Fahrs is so difficult, my brain wants me to get up and do things, yet me body aches so much, the chronic fatigue with my body saying...no thanks not doing anything today, just getting up is a massive challenge.

Here's to a better day soon.

Q3 - How can “criticality” be differentiated pedagogically from “critical thinking”, encouraging students to engage in deeper andragogical enquiry rather than surface-level critique?

Q2 - To what extent do educators explicitly teach the meaning and progression of academic descriptors (e.g., criticality, synthesis, evaluation, complexity) rather than assuming students understand them?

Q1 - How might the use of creative metaphors, such as “superpowers,” reframe students’ perceptions of their academic capabilities and ease imposter syndrome in postgraduate learning?
