At Otago each class will have a student representative to promote constructive communication between students and staff.
They give lecturers access to students' opinions on the teaching and delivery of papers. Representatives give confidential feedback to their department, reporting on positive aspects and identifying any potential areas for improvement.
The lecturer will ask for Class Rep volunteers at the beginning of each semester and they will be given training by OUSA to assist with their work.
"Being a class rep is an opportunity for you to take an active part in determining your education experience."
