Course Reps
Course & Class Reps are an integral part of our partnership approach to embed student voice in decision-making at all levels of UWTSD. Although Course Reps are student representatives, for our system to be effective academic staff have a role to play in ensuring that reps are elected for all courses.
Course & Class Reps as a conduit for student voice and in their roles on Staff-Student Committees and within the Students' Union provide feedback on all aspects of the educational experience, such as curriculum development, feedback and assessment, course structure, facilities and resources, teaching/learning approaches, and the general academic experience of their fellow students. This feedback and the representatives themselves will play a key role in internal quality processes such as Annual Programme Reviews and Institute level reviews.
Once elected, training is provided to all Reps by the Students' Union.
