10. U SEFUL C ONTACTS A full listing of academic staff, technical and administrative staff and their contact details can be found on the School’s web page:
The personnel listed below have special responsibilities within the School for our undergraduate teaching programmes.
The Head of the School is responsible to the Vice-Chancellor for all aspects of the School’s activities, including teaching. In practice, many management tasks are undertaken by other professors and senior staff, and various committees and administrative duties are shared amongst all staff in the School. The Head of School takes a personal interest in the quality of the teaching. If you have any comments on our activities or experience any difficulties, you should first see the most appropriate member of staff. That might be a Module Organiser, your Personal Tutor or a Year Tutor. However if you cannot resolve your difficulties then you should make an appointment through the General Office (Room 1.04) to see the Head of School or the Deputy Head of School and Director of Teaching and Learning.
Each module is the responsibility of a given member of staff. Usually, but not always, the Module Organiser does most of the teaching on that module. You should consult the Module Organiser in the event of any difficulties associated with lectures, laboratories, exercises, exercise classes, tests or examinations associated with that particular module. Modules are also assigned a Deputy Module Organiser. This deputy may be involved in the teaching of the module or may be there simply as a second point of contact in the absence of the Module Organiser. Personal Tutor Your Personal Tutor provides a sympathetic point of contact between you and the School. Personal Tutors take an interest in your academic development during the whole of your time as an undergraduate. They provide confidential advice on any personal matters that might affect your studies, or they have contacts which enable them to refer you to specialised counselling should the need arise. In your first year, your Personal Tutor will also be your Academic Tutor and you will meet him or her on a weekly basis throughout the year. Your Year 1 tutor will then usually remain your Personal Tutor throughout the remainder of your undergraduate career. Students often find it very useful to have a Personal Tutor, not just because of the help and advice they can give, but also when it comes to needing references for that first job or further study. Personal tutorials are scheduled to take place twice a year (in Week 6 of the two semesters). These are the formal one-to-one meetings that are fixed to ensure at least some contact, but never hesitate to consult your personal tutor at any other times. It is often very much easier to sort out problems if they are recognised and dealt with earlier rather than later. In the event of you wishing to change Yüklə 0,66 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
