Course and Programme Monitoring and Evaluation
- The courses are monitored using on-line student evaluation forms. These are available to the course organisers, who in turn will respond to the students on all important issues via several mediums.
-
The Staff-Student Liaison Committee (SSLC) comprises the elected Class Representatives and members of staff (there is one for each of the four Engineering disciplines). Staff-Student Liaison Committees for each Engineering Discipline meet once a semester (usually around Week 5).
Matters should only be brought to the SSLC when other informal methods have failed to resolve them, i.e.discussion at tutorials, with the course lecturer, with the students DoS and finally with the Head of Discipline. The minutes for the SSLC can be found by following the link below:
- School-specific forms (these will follow)
These monitoring and evaluation procedures are based on a series of University-wide principles.
