I have now met with three students enrolled in Semester 1, 2005 in KKN600 Advertising
Creative: Major Project, and had email correspondence with a further two students. I have
advised on the MOPP Policy E/9.2 Grievance resolution procedures for student related
grievanvces, particularly Policy 9.2.1. which identifies the grievance as being concerned with
'delivery or quality of a product or service by QUT', and 9.2.2. which outlines procedures for
Informal Resolution and Formal Resolution (9.2.3).
As part of the informal resolution process, I met with students enrolled in the unit at 3pm on
Wednesday 29 June. All enrolled students had been notified of my availablility for this
meeting. The need to change the date from the earlier time of 4pm Monday 27 June had
meant that two students were unable to attend the later meeting.
The issues raised by the students can, I believe, be grouped into three categories:
A student evaluation of the unit has been commissioned, and this will provide students with
an opportunity for structured feedback. I also undertook to meet with Sandra after 13 July,
when final results have been submitted. I indicated that subsequent to that, feedback would
be provded to the student cohort. The question of whether a Formal Complaint could also be
lodged with the Student Ombudsman was also raised. I inidcated that this was an option, but
that I had initiated this consultation process as a means of establishing an Informal
Resolution that may be to the satisfaction of all parties.
