First Class Rep Report Now Live

It's been a busy few weeks at the Students' Association, as our Class Rep system gets up and running. Class Reps are a key part of the college community: they're a link between students, the Students' Association, curriculum staff and college management. 

Here's a quick summary of the main findings below:

  • Inductions are generally seen as quite good, with almost every student having a timetable before starting, but students especially cited the lack of campus tours and maps available. 
  • Many Reps reported that students struggle to access vital information due to systems not being as easy to use on mobile phones (particularly Moodle). 
  • Students are broadly positive about their learning experience so far. Those with negative experiences cite staff absences and the lack of communication being key contributing factors.
