School of Social, Historical and Political Studies Updates

Weekly Update 26/02/2021

Hey folks! 

I hope you are all keeping well and are staying safe! I woke up this morning to cold weather and ice - it seems the back end of winter is still trying to stick around! Hopefully as the months progress, things will get warmer and with restrictions eased, we will be able to enjoy the warm weather more. I am looking forward to going out for walks with the sun shining brightly!

I have been working again today and wanted to provide you all with an update on what I have been up to:

  • I have read through and checked my latest emails and I am now all caught up on these.

  • I have read through the latest Coronavirus updates from the University ready to pass this information onto students as and where necessary.

  • I have checked through the Microsoft Teams chat channel for any messages. I am now all caught up on this.

  • I have contacted some of the various Student WhatsApp groups I am a member of to make students aware that I am working today and available to assist if anyone has any issues or concerns. I have heard nothing as of yet and have not been made aware of any issues.

  • I have contacted the Course Rep. WhatsApp group that I am in to check in with the reps and see if there is anything I can help with. I am still currently awaiting replies from them.

  • I am due to attend a meeting today with my Course Leader as part of my Course Rep. role. I have gathered feedback from students on my course to take to this meeting.

  • I have spoken to a student who raised an issue about seminars not being recorded. This is now being looked into. I have requested that the lecturer discuss the matter with the course to see if they consent to lectures being recorded and if so, this can then be arranged.

  • I have heard back from another HND student that I have checked in with. They are doing okay and are working on their dissertation. I have offered my support to them if there is anything that they need.

And that's it for today's update! Keep safe everyone and if you have anything you would like to discuss, please feel free to get in touch. My work contact e-mail is: Sydney.Cooper@wlv.ac.uk.

Have a good weekend and I shall hopefully catch up with you all soon!

Kind Regards,

Syd
