Good practice

Current successful PARs integrate the following activities:

Academic

• feeding back assessment results each semester in a documented way
• monitoring and reviewing progress
• guiding choice of modules and academic pathways

Administrative

• streamlining and integrating the administration of staff-student interactions, including recording and tracking students' module choices
• recording any specific activities required by professional or statutory bodies

Pastoral

• reviewing personal development
• monitoring personal well-being
• providing information about support services

Developmental

• encouraging students to reflect regularly on their progress and set themselves specific and realistic targets
• informing module choice
• integrating skills awareness and career development activities with departmental / school programmes, in collaboration with the University Careers Advisory Service

Note: The Steering Group would be grateful to receive comments from schools / departments addressing the requirements of a statutory / professional body on any items of the PAR components listed above which they propose to omit or modify in the light of their statutory / professional body guidelines.
