At the meeting of the Academic Standards Committee held on 27 May 2011 it was agreed that further information should be sought for the following recommendations, which were made in the original report on the DPTLA review of Civil Engineering:

• Recommendation 2, it was agreed that the Subject should clarify how the proposal detailed for review turnaround times on assessment for all staff and courses, fitted with the University’s new assessment policy introduced in February 2011, see: http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_192549_en.pdf;
• Recommendation 4, it was suggested that pro-forma feedback sheets for formative assessment should be used by all members of staff.
• Recommendation 9, it was felt that a stronger response was required for this issue (work-related learning opportunities).
• Recommendation 18, it was noted that the School or College was responsible for half of Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) training provided to complement generic training provided by Learning & Teaching Centre and therefore some action was required in response to this recommendation.

ASC is asked to consider the adequacy of the updated responses and the progress made.
