At its meeting on 21 May 2015, Academic Standards Committee received the responses to the recommendations arising from the Review of Economic and Social History.

ASC noted that the actions taken to address Recommendations 1, 2 and 4 appeared to be reasonable and appropriate. The ASC reviewers considered that the Subject Area should be congratulated on the increased numbers of students on the Levels 1 and 2 courses and, notably, at postgraduate level.

The Convener of the Review Panel, with regard to Recommendation 3, wished to receive confirmation that the Subject had implemented a process for verifying that GTAs had attended the statutory training. ASC agreed and an update on Recommendation 3 should be submitted to the October meeting of ASC.

Academic Standards Committee is asked to consider the adequacy of the updated responses and the progress made.
