Education Officer

Education Officer

Bob Phelps

Bob Phelps

Bob Phelps

Nominated: Bill Logan.

Seconded: Candy McGrath, Colin Knox.

Policy:—

(1) To study the existing examination system and to make presentations for its reform based on evidence gleaned from the study.

(2) To look at the effectiveness of present student participation, at the departmental level, in decisions relating to course work requirements, and the degree to which the needs of students, as they perceive them, are communicated to the teaching staff, through the existing channels of formal student representation.

(3) To ensure that all information which is relevant to course or degree requirements which could materially affect students is conveyed to them in some appropriate written form from time to time.

(4) To be available, as required, to receive representations from any students with problems relating to course work matters and to make appropriate recommendations on their behalf.

Bob is completing undergraduate study this year, with majors in Psychology and Sociology. He will be doing Psychology Honours in 1970. Although not previously involved in student politics, he feels confident of successfully meeting the demands of this portfolio.

I am a Ph.D. student in Physics with a B.Sc.(Hons.) and have also done some work for a B.A.

I have a record of service on student committees including the Maths and Physics Society and S.C.M. execs and the Science Club) Committee. At present I am on the Interdisciplinary Activities Sub-Committee of the Professional Board as a Student Representative.

The Education Officer is going to have to look outside the University as much as inside in the future. We cannot get very far in improving the Education we get here without taking part in the political activity involved in decisions, both affecting the Universities and in the wider area of Education.

On Exec in general, there seems to have been little confidence in recent Execs by student. Exec always seems to be following student opinion and action. I will do my best to make Exec a place where ideas come from, not where they get lost.
