Outlines Brainstorming on students work load Student voice in the group Design Elaboration of a first draft Program Conclusion
Brainstorming on students work load The SAG discussed on the result of the survey. It shows that the contact hour vs independent hours for both students and Academics indicates that it is almost equivalent to 50:50 This indicates that the nature of the subject are is needs equal efforts for both independent and work and contact hours; because it has different field works, practical lab theory, tutorials, projects and modelling
Student contribution by Caroline Maina CONTENT Experience in the Tuning Process. Student contribution in future Process
Experience in the tuning process Our future careers have been incorporated in the system e.g. in the case of Applied Geology. Interaction with different people from other countries. Student Voice has been essential to the educational process; therefore all areas should actively acknowledge the Student Voice.
Student contribution in future process Take into account challenges faced during external field work e.g. transport. Evaluating student achievement e.g. how prepared they are for higher education, motivation to study, prior learning experiences and qualifications. Have our own student forums. Participate in curriculum development process: University unions should take part in the crediting system of Africa. Consider challenges faced by universities whose Laboratories are not fully equiped; experience is yet to the standards. Ensure every African country has at least one student representative.
Design Name of the program: The SAG agreed to create the new program according to the Addis Ababa meeting and the existing program The name of the new program: BSC with honor in Applied Geology Length and level of the program: Four years
