Brighton HOA Reps 2011-2014

Hey guys! If you haven't done this yet, please take a minute to have a look through your inboxes to complete this survey. Not only will you be helping out the lovely ladies at the Careers Service get through 6000 names, but you'll also be helping the uni to improve for future students.

Destination of Leavers from Higher Education - 2013/14 Questionnaire

Don't forget, results go up tomorrow! Good luck to everyone!

To anyone feeling lost, the poster should be A3, not A2.

Remember that show reel images are in on Friday guys!

Now all our dissertation stuff is out of the way, thought it was worth mentioning how bad the support has been in terms of resources for Brighton students over recent weeks. Whilst some universities can afford to have at least one library open around the clock, Brighton has been 9-5 the last three weeks. This is totally inadequate considering most students have work commitments which fall in those hours and really hits home how little the University hierarchy understands our needs. As well as that, studentcentral went offline for four consecutive days! I have never heard of that happening anywhere but Brighton; surely if maintenance is needed at this time of year it would be better to do it over night, or one day on and one day off. Finally today I go to get books for exam revision and the one copy they have of various texts available has been taken out! Its crazy... so in conclusion, please fill in the National Student Survey and let the University know that students' needs are just as important as their massive, eye watering profits. http://www.thestudentsurvey.com/

The National Student Survey The National Student Survey (NSS) is an excellent opportunity for final year undergraduates to feedback on their academic experience, while the results will be used to help prospective students to choose courses that best suit their needs and interests.

*REMINDER*

Please send your catalogue entries (300 words) to Paul tomorrow along with an accompanying image.

For those who are not clear, the catalogue entry should be different to your dissertation synopsis.

The handbook entry is for public consumption and so should not be entirely academic or formal sounding. Also, you can foreground a couple (or even one) major point for it (as they relate to the figure you choose to include alongside), whereas your synopsis tries to cover all bases.

CATALOGUE ENTRY

Another quick reminder to those who are not entirely clear on the matter:

Catalogue entries should be handed in to Paul by April 22nd with an image. This means you should be looking at getting copyright sorted ASAP.

** REMINDER **

For those who studied Interpreting Art and Design last term, we have our revision session today at 3pm in B5.

For those who are not already aware, on the 28th April there is going to be a marking boycott.

PLEASE NOTE this will NOT effect your overall grade and you will be given an indication as to how well you have done, it just means that the marks will not be given to the uni until issues have been resolved.

At the very worst this may effect the date that we all graduate.
