This session took place as part of the Learning and teaching @York in the Coronavirus Pandemic: Continuing the conversation (Autumn term 2020). The presenters were Richard Waites.

Abstract:

Richard provided an overview of attempts to improve communication and involve students directly in planning across the Biology Department. He highlighted large-scale online polling to ask students how they are getting on and elicit their feedback as a key element of the approach to establishing rapport, building trust between staff and the 1400 students in the Biology Department, and supporting staff in responding to student needs.
