ANNUAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT REPORT 2014-15
POST-ROTATION TAUGHT TRACKING
(ELECTIVES)
BVetMed
For the BVetMed programme, during the Autumn term the draft AQI Report relating to the
preceding academic years PRTT reviews must be submitted to the BVetMed Course
Management Committee (CMC) for approval (via the Academic Development Administrator). A
member(s) of a Teaching Quality Committee sub-group (TQCsg) will attend the CMC to note
consideration of the AQI Report and ensure the CMC fully scrutinises the report to assure itself
that its programme(s) of study are running successfully. The notes taken by the TQCsg
member will be submitted to the Academic Quality Manager so that they may write a summary
report of all Undergraduate AQI Reports.
The summary report will be considered by the Teaching Quality Committee in the Spring term,
with a view to:
i. drawing any relevant comparisons;
ii. identifying any College-wide issues arising from the reports;
iii. alerting the College as a whole to any obstacles which are preventing a programme of
study from achieving its objectives;
iv. assuring itself that the Course Management Committee has given the report appropriate
scrutiny.
Where the Teaching Quality Committee identifies issues in the summary report which give rise
to concern, actions are referred back to the relevant CMC and/or individuals for resolution.
The Action Plans from the Undergraduate Annual Quality Improvement reports are submitted
to Spring meeting of the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Committee for approval.
