The Big Quality Questions
What kind of things are course reps expected to raise questions
about?
1. Teaching on my Course
2. Assessment and Feedback
3. Academic Support
4. Organisation and Management
5. Learning Resources
6. Personal Development
7. Overall Student Satisfaction
8. Students' Union (Association or Guild)
These are the areas that students are asked about when
completing their undergraduate degree on the National Student
Survey. Course Reps can help to improve the academic experience
across the university by questioning the things going wrong in these
areas. The NSS is a great aid to creating change as it is evidence of
what is going well and what needs improvement.
You should be thinking –
Are things good enough?
Could they be better even excellent?
How can they be improved?
How can the National Student Survey (NSS) back up your arguments?
