Around university, lesson is awfully low quality (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lousiness

'low quality' is the definition.
(being low quality or poor)

'around university lesson is awfully' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'awfully' is an anagram indicator.
'lesson'+'is'='lessonis'
'lessonis' with letters rearranged gives 'losiness'.
'u' placed inside 'losiness' is 'LOUSINESS'.
