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. |
EdPSC approved the following regulatory proposals recommended by ASC:
- Revised Generic Regulation combining PGT and MRes degree programmes - there will also be further consultation with Deans of Graduate Schools;
- Amendments to the Code of Assessment
Senate did not approve proposals from ASC and EdPSC regarding discretion in the award of honours classifications. Instead, it was agreed that there should be further consultation with Schools and Colleges.
The Programme and Course Approval Working Group (PCAWG) will meet this semester and will consider the possibility of expanding the proposal support document (section "A4. Consultations") to improve information on proposers' responses to consultation feedback.
PCAWG will also consider at its next meeting the issue of collecting information on current courses which have an opt-out from coursework reassessment.
ASC is asked to note that the report of the validation of the proposed new Joint MSc in Product Design Engineering at Glasgow School of Art was not referred to the Clerk of Senate and Convener of ASC for approval under summer powers as it has not yet been ratified by the School of Engineering. It is expected that the validation report will be available for ASC scrutiny at its meeting on 18 November 2011.
