Brief description of the paper 

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

Action Requested 

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

The College of Science & Engineering would particularly like to highlight the following:

  • Simplify the Annual Monitoring Report template into 4 sections
    • previous unresolved issues,
    • current problems within the school and beyond school,
    • good practice and
    • comments.
  • Design the forms (Annual Monitoring Report, School Annual Monitoring Summary and College Annual Monitoring Summary) to improve linkages between them.
  • Faster turn round time of Annual Monitoring Reports and earlier inclusion of CAMS in the ASC annual timetable
  • Direct report of infrastructure issues to Estates and Buildings in April or May
  • Visibility of disciplines within Engineering
  • Note good practice highlighted such as additional feedback sessions, information provided to external examiners and podcasting of lectures.
