PGR Feedback: Impact and Implications
The 2024 Postgraduate Education Practitioners Network workshop provides the opportunity to join colleagues from HEIs across the UK, in person, to discuss some of the pressing issues affecting their roles.
This in-person meeting of the PEP network will focus on eliciting, reviewing and acting on PGR student feedback. The session will include reflections on direct and indirect feedback, managing the supervisory relationship and setting expectations, and the use of surveys. We will hear from Dr Kirsty Holley from the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) about what can happen when feedback mechanisms are ineffectual and importance of taking learnings from OIA rulings; about a recent cross-institutional project looking at mediation and informal resolution; and from a range of network members on other related topics.
