College Annual Monitoring Summaries: College of Arts

Cover Sheet

Dr David Bain, College Quality Officer

 
Brief description of the paper 

The paper contains a summary of the under- and postgraduate annual monitoring reports from the College of Arts.

Action Requested 

ASC is asked to consider the issues raised in the report.

The College of Arts would particularly like to highlight the following:

  • The Standard Student Feedback Questionnaire is much less useful than it might be for teachers and those responsible for monitoring and improving quality of teaching and learning provision
  • SSLCs remain located principally at Subject level and appear to be working well
  • Restructuring added an extra layer to quality monitoring processes, at School or Subject-level scrutiny, which enables more use to be made of the detailed information that Subjects provide
  • Good practice identified such as student-led vocabulary glossaries in SMLC and student-developed wikis in School of Humanities.
Recommended Person/s responsible for taking action(s) forward
