What is expected from me if I am elected as a Course Rep?
The Course Rep role is a great balance: big benefits and fairly little time commitment! The role is what you make of it! You will attend two or three Student-Staff Academic Committee meetings over the Academic Year. In these meetings you get to feed back to staff on your academic expierence; how you found lectures, assessments, timetabling, teaching etc.
