Policies
The Teaching and Learning Committee has produced policy documents and reports some of which are available here. A new Teaching and Learning Plan is currently under development.
Teaching and Course Surveys (PDF, 57 KB)
This policy sets out the requirements for staff to carry out teaching and course surveys to ensure that feedback is regularly available on courses and staff teaching.
Results of the course surveys are sent back to the course coordinator/lecturer and Head of School/Department and also made available on the Survey and Testing Unit website.
Teaching feedback is returned to the individual teacher, and will be used for promotion purposes.

The aim of this policy is to help courses that might have difficulties, as
indicated by low course ratings, to improve. A further aim of this policy is
to encourage good practice by providing feedback to those departments with consistently
high-rating courses.
