It provides a forum for students to raise issues relating to the course or the Department. Some issues may be dealt with immediately informally, others may be referred to the Departmental Teaching Committee or the Head of Department. The minutes are posted on the Student Common Room noticeboard, and also go to staff in the Department and to the College Joint Staff Student Committee.
