Agenda

Starring Items This agenda will operate with a system of starred items. Only items highlighted with a (*) will be discussed. At the beginning of the meeting members will be given the opportunity to request that any unstarred items are included in the Committee's discussion. |
To note that EdPSC approved the recommended revisions to the PGT Masters regulations. The revised regulations will be included in the 2009-10 Calendar, subject to approval from Senate, and Guidance notes will also be developed and circulated when the Calendar is published.
To note that EdPSC approved the proposed standard penalties for late submission of coursework. EdPSC recommended that the policy for exemption from these penalties required further development, and that this policy should be University-wide as far as possible. The Code of Assessment Working Group will take this forward and report to ASC in October. At this time the CoA WG will also report on its Faculty consultation, and further deliberation on the practicality of offering second coursework opportunities.
To note that EdPSC endorsed ASC's recommendation that the SLP should negotiate the terms 'Session', 'Term' and 'Programme' with Oracle, with a view to these being replaced with more appropriate terminology for UK/Glasgow. EdPSC did not however agree with ASC's position regarding the use of SHE course levels in course codes, and instead recommended that SCQF Levels 7-12 be adopted.
The Senate Office will work with Learning & Teaching Centre to ensure that guidance on programme development sufficiently covers student engagement in learning and graduate attributes.
