As a class representative, you are the spokesperson for your study programme/college, and you are the link between your fellow students and the department.
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF AGDER (UiA)
UiA expects you to engage in your role as a class representative and carry out the work you have committed to. Part of this work is to improve the programmes and academic quality at UiA by conducting evaluations. This is done by setting times for evaluations and by participating in study councils where the views from evaluations are raised. To promote the student voice, it is important that the student representative remains objective in relation to the opinions expressed in the evaluations and speaks on behalf of the entire student group.
