Student Feedback Student Representation and Enhancement Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership, which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability. Furthermore, programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation. Information for students on the importance o Other useful resources are available within the . In addition to student presence through programme committee membership, it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions. Student Perception Surveys The National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth University’s Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually. Additionally, there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules. Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS) All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes. The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings, the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience, these include teaching, assessment and feedback, academic support, learning resources, personal development opportunities. Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level. In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme. Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience. What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for? to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education, either positively or negatively to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College What does the survey achieve? At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college. A related Action Plan is prepared to address students' concerns and this is in turn linked to the University’s Quality Assurance process, addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college.
