The Combined Honours Student-Staff Committee uses working groups to make actions happen.
The Chair and Secretary of the SSC provide leadership; the idea of having working groups was instigated by Colin Bryson, Director of the Combined Honours Centre.
There are 3 working groups, each with 4 students. The working groups and their projects change each semester or each year. Topics have included: - creating personal tutoring resources for students, as information on how to use your personal tutor - organising a graduate careers week, as requested by students in Combined Honours following a Combined Honours student survey (see separate entry) - making changes to the module selection process.
The aim is for each working group to deliver a project with outcomes, not just to discuss an issue and present their reflections. Students can use the working groups to positively effect change. Even with a very proactive SSC, the working groups galvanise members and let them take (share) responsibility for projects.
The working groups deliver projects with outcomes. This can generate administrative issues within the working groups system: it had been planned to change working groups each semester but this has changed when longer-term projects were taken on.
