REVIEW OF THE MAJOR IN SOCIOLOGY
IN THE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES, IN THE COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
A review of the Major in Sociology
in the School of Social Sciences in the College of Humanities will be held from the 29th August to
the 1 September 2017. The
purpose of the review is to support the development of quality assurance
processes with information on good practice and challenges, evaluative comment
and continuing improvement in the teaching and learning of the Major in Sociology.
Furthermore, the review
will serve to establish the infrastructural capacity and other resources to conduct
the core activities of teaching and learning in the Cluster where Sociology is
located.
A
review panel has been appointed to carry out this review, the members of which
are all external to the School of Social Sciences. There is a wealth of
expertise and experience among the members of the panel. It is the task of the
panel to gather information and to listen to the views of the interviewees and
other key stakeholders, who will assist them in providing sound and considered
advice on the issues at hand. The recommendations made by the panel are
intended to guide the decision-making processes. Above all, an external review
provides an opportunity for reflection, for expressing views and making
suggestions.
