If you've browsed the news section of the course rep page you will see that we are currently undertaking a pilot project in connection with the University to look at increasing the student voice.

One of the things we are arranging is an Open Forum Meeting on Thursday 15th November 2007, in the Main Lecture Theatre at Chadwick Campus from 4:45pm - 6:15pm.  The event is open to all Students from Arts, Media & Education and will not be attended by lecturers.

The event will be a question and answer session led by Sam Johnson, Director of School for Arts, Media and Education - a chance for all students to 'air their dirty laundry' about their learning and teaching experience.

Can I ask that you consider attending and encourage your fellow students to attend also.  There are other events being planned so watch this space!

TOP TIP!

Some students in your class will be vocal about their issues and actively seek you out to tell you about their experiences.  Some students will sit quietly and never utter a word.  The voice of the silent student is as important as the vocal one!  It may be that these students are shy; their first language may not be English; or they may genuinely think that their course is hunky dory! - you will never know unless you ask - take time to speak to these students on a 1-2-1 basis or in small group situations.  Remember to represent one and all!
