 Rethinking unseens: report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The perceived lack of clear policy regarding unseens teaching at university level in particular may also be reflected in respondents’ perceptions of how typical their methods and practices in teaching unseens were of their departments.
University teachers ranked broadening vocabulary the next most useful aspect of unseens teaching, with the consolidation of familiarity with accidence fifth, and development of the ability to deal with varying word order last.
The emphasis laid by university teachers on literary and thematic interest, and on connections to other work, complements their greater interest in increasing appreciation of literature as an objective of unseens teaching, and their view of unseens as being useful particularly to develop an appreciation of a variety of styles and idioms.

The Unseen University is so called beacuse of its strange history: Back in the mists of time a student's experiment went aray, making the university invisible to the outside world.

This, of course, also means we get Rincewind, the Unseen University and (making a briefcase appearance) the Luggage.
In order to cure him, the wise old leaders of the Unseen University need to know his real name, and for that they need Rincewind -- once a former assistant librarian and the only person left who knows.

 Articles - Rincewind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
He is a failed student at the Unseen University for wizards in Ankh-Morpork, often described by scholars as "the magical equivalent to the number zero", and spends just about all of his time running away from various bands of people who want to kill him for various reasons.
The first book ends with a literal cliff-hanger when he and Twoflower are thrown off the edge of the Discworld by astronomers who want to know the gender of Great A'Tuin, the turtle upon which the disc rides, and have designed a space-ship (bronze and shaped like a fish) to do so.
Rincewind is most frequently seen with his hat with the word WIZZARD emblazoned across it in sequins (this may be a reference to Roy Wood's rock band Wizzard) and his Luggage, which has hundreds of little legs and follows him everywhere.

Terry Pratchett, Unseen University (UU) is a school of wizardry in the city of Ankh-Morpork.
Staffed by a faculty composed of mostly insane and inane old wizards, and a Librarian who has been transformed into an orangutan, one can always find some sort of mischief going on there.
Due to the high levels of background magic in the vicinity, a typical map of UU vagely resembles an exploding chrysanthemum and is usually only valid for a day or so.
