Staff-Student Consultation Committees Dr. David Broom Course Leader - Physical Activity, Health and Exercise Science Acknowledgements - Damian Kingsbury and David Rogerson
Outline of this Thunderstorm • Importance of giving the students a voice • How staff-student consultation committees used to run • How staff-student consultation committees now run • The SSCC feedback spread-sheet • Room for improvement.
Importance of giving the students a voice • Feedback is needed so that we can continually improve our learning, teaching and assessment • Students are our consumers and they want to give us feedback on the service we are offering • We are judged on our ability to act on feedback through KPI's such as the NSS • Is a requirement of the QAA
How staff-student consultation committees used to run • Twice a year • The whole Department in a room • Breakouts with discipline specific student reps • Staff 'put on the spot' by student reps almost badgered to be critical.
Room for improvement • Personally - Communicating to students how we have acted on their feedback • From this years course review: • Clashes with teaching and busy periods meant that some staff were unable to attend • We should consult students how they would like to feedback on their courses • Feedback should be two-way. Whilst students should feedback to staff, staff should be able to feedback to students.
