Welcome / Fáilte Hi all, my name is Clodagh McGivern and I’m your Vice President/Education Officer for 2021/2022. Congratulations on becoming a class rep and the spokesperson for your class.

I’m delighted you’ve put yourself forward and I’m very excited to work with you this year.

As a rep you have many roles, whether that is being the spokesperson for your class, working with academics as well as, working with the SU. You are the link between the union and the students and that is why your voice is so important to us.

Your other role within the union, is holding the exec team accountable and mandating us to do what you feel is best for your student experience. We can’t meet every student and you are best placed to give us an accurate reflection on what the students want but more importantly need.

Of course, there is something in it for you: • You get your class rep training as well as other training throughout the year.

• You gain experience and skills to enhance your CV • Get a free Class Rep hoodie.

• Alive Cert This year more than ever, we really appreciate your time and input. Each of your unique viewpoints help us to get the most accurate view of how students are feeling. I hope to be able to give back as much as I am getting so if you need anything, don’t hesitate to get in contact.

I look forward to seeing you at our SU councils, College Councils and whatever other events you may be at and I’m excited to work with you and see how we can improve the student experience in a year where the student experience is limited.

College Convenors / Tionólaithe na gColáistí The College Convenors are by far the best resource made available to the Class Reps.

Get to know your Convenor, they’re here to help you resolve any issues your class may be having. If you are ever in the situation where you may be afraid to tell a lecturer a certain issue contact your Convenor or even the Education Officer. At the end of the day, we work for you and we have no problem talking to a lecturer.

It’s important to note that although we are here for advice, lecturers would very much rather see you, the Class Rep. No lecturer will penalise you for doing what your class wants, that is your job and why you were elected class rep.

Membership/Ballraíocht Fáilte go Comhaltas na Mac Léinn OÉ Gailimh / Welcome to NUI Galway Students’ Union!

NUI Galway Students’ Union is the representative body of students within NUI Galway. Our main aims are to represent our students, defend their interests and work on their behalf both within NUI Galway and nationally.

You are now part of the Class Rep System which is the backbone of NUI Galway Students’ Union.

NUIG SU Structure / Struchtúr CML OÉG The membership of the Students’ Union is defined as all registered students of NUI Galway.

This means that you are a member of the Students’ Union and so are all of your classmates!

You can have your say as a member and one of the best ways to do this is through being a Class Rep and through Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn. Always remember it’s not THE Students’ Union - it’s YOUR Students’ Union! It belongs to you, the students of NUI Galway.

STUDENTS COMHAIRLE CHOMHALTAS NA MAC LÉINN

SU EXECUTIVE 6

The Student Levy/ Tobhach na Mac Léinn It’s Your Money!

All NUI Galway students pay the Student Levy in addition to annual fees.

The Student Levy is used to fund a number of student activities such as the Students’ Union; Clubs; Societies; Student Health Unit; Campus Radio; and the CÉIM Peer Learning Programme.

The Levy is required because the University does not provide adequate funding for these services. Other colleges have much better facilities that their students do not have to subsidise, and their students’ union, clubs and societies also receive better funding.

This is something your Students Union is always working on. Last year the Student Levy was reduced from €224 per student to €140 per student which means NUI Galway students are no longer paying the highest levy in the count The Student Levy is distributed as follows: Students’ Union €40.00 Societies €25.00 Clubs €25.00 Student Health Unit €22.00 Áras na Mac Léinn €3.00 Flirt FM €6.00 Student Project Fund €5.00 CÉIM €14.00 Total €140.00 The Student Levy is your money so if you have any questions about how it is spent, be sure to ask! Simply contact the SU President, Róisín, on su.president@oegaillimh.ie The Students’ Union’s presents its accounts to Comhairle Comhaltas na Mac Léinn (SU Council) each year and they are also available to download from our website.

How the SU Works / Conas a oibríonn Comhaltas na Mac Léinn?

A. Sabbatical Officers / Na hOifigigh Sabóideacha The three Sabbatical Officers have full-time paid positions and are directly elected by all students in the University. They are; President (Róisín), Vice President/Education Officer (Clodagh) and Vice President/ Welfare and Equality Officer (Cora). These officers have definite objectives to look after different aspects of your well-being; from giving you advice if you fail your exams to making sure students views are represented at every level.

B. College Convenors / Tionólaithe na gColáistí Each of the 4 College Convenors act as a kind of manager for the class reps in their College.

A College Convenor will help to guide the Class Reps in a College if some issue is too daunting for one Class Rep to tackle on their own, or if it is a problem affecting more than one class which requires teamwork from a number of Class Reps. They represent their Colleges Class Reps and students on the Executive committee. The object of the Faculty Councils is to discuss individual issues specific to your department whilst Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn discusses the University wide issues. Sitting on their College executive is perhaps the most influential part of a College Convenor’s job. At College Exec, some very important suggestions are made, and outcomes determined that will be specific to courses and problems in that College, and as the College Convenor is a student in that College, they can often have more of an impact than any Sabbatical Officer would to look out for the interests of these students. College Convenors then report to their Class Reps on the progress they are making at this level. The Convenors are simply more experienced Class Reps so don’t be shy to turn to them for back-up.

C. Executive / An Coiste Gnó Members of the SU Executive give reports to Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn . You can see the members listed in on our website and in this handbook. They were elected to their positions to help so never be afraid to approach them.

D. Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn (formerly SU Council) Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn is where decisions are made by Class Reps and other SU Officers on what actions the Union should take or what stance the Union should take on an issue. Voting is done on things called “motions”, which contain a “mandate”, which basically tells one or more of the Officers of the Students’ Union to do something. If members of Council vote in favour of a motion, then it becomes Union policy.

Role and Function of a Class Representative / Ról agus Feidhm an Ionadaí Ranga What is a Class Representative?

With the ever-increasing number of students attending NUI Galway, it is important that there is active representation for the student body so student’s voices can still be heard. It is also hard for the Officers to make contact with the entire student body, so this is why Class Reps are a vital component to the Union.

Class Reps are elected by their classmates to represent their fellow students’ views to the college. They play an integral role in representing students, helping students overcome problems and maintaining the quality of courses. Class Reps act as a point of contact between the Class, Lecturers, Course Co-ordinator and the Students’ Union.

Class Reps sit on course board meetings at college level in which they act as the voice of the students, ensuring that the college takes into account the requirements of students in any decisions that are made. Basically, Class Reps liaise with both the Students’ Union and the University staff to ensure all problems are solved and that a high level of course quality is continuously maintained.

How to express the views of your class?

For you to be able to express the views of your class you first of all need to know their opinions. You should never assume or guess what their views will be. Consultation can be a simple process and here are some ways of findings out the opinions of your class: • • • •

Discuss topics on a Class Group social media page.

Class surveys on google forms, survey monkey or even Padlet.

Discuss it in your virtual classroom at the start or end of class.

Have a virtual coffee morning/office hour.

The Key Duties of a Class Rep / Príomhdhualgais an Ionadaí Ranga Gathering student opinion: To effectively represent the views of your class you first of all need to know what those views are. You should never assume or guess what the students’ opinions will be. Consultation can be a simple process and here are some ways of collecting feedback from your class, via a short questionnaire on survey monkey or google forms, ask the group after a class or contact them via email or in a Facebook group.

Managing class issues: It is difficult to predict what issues you and your class will face over the year, it could be course workloads, timetabling issues, lecturing issues, etc. It comes down to you as the Class Rep to try and find a solution for this issue, which could be resolved quickly by just contacting the Lecturer, College department or a Students’ Union Officer.

Dealing with personal matters: As a Class Rep it is a good idea to make yourself aware of the various student support services available within NUI Galway, so that if one of your classmates has a personal issue you are able to direct them to the right people. As a Class Rep you may be the first person a classmate confides in, it is important that the student is reassured and listened to. It is also important that you are aware of the boundaries, acknowledge if necessary that you are not a trained counsellor, and that you refer the student to appropriate supports.

Representing your class at Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn All SU Council Members must attend Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn Meetings, if you cannot make Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn or a Faculty Council please email the chair to send your apologies. The Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn is the backbone of the Students’ Union. Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn Meetings are hugely beneficial as they keep you in the ‘loop’ regarding what is going on around the NUI Galway, as well as providing you with a feedback mechanism and discussion forum on various issues affecting those you represent.

The business of the meeting is conducted over a period of two hours and has a pre-set agenda (all members are eligible to put an agenda item forward). Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn happens three times a semester, with another two faculty councils held each semester also. All Students’ Union campaigns, activities and collaborations are discussed at these meetings. It’s also a chance for you to mandate your Students’ Union on anything from political issues to improvements in the college.

11

Representing your class at course board meetings: A significant role of a Class Rep is to attend Course Board Meetings that are scheduled between Course/Class Co-ordinators and Class Reps. During Course Board Meetings, Class Reps communicate the views and opinions of their class and work in partnership with the staff, ensuring that the requirements of students are given due consideration and taken into account. The key to success at these meetings is to ensure that the student voice is heard, acknowledged and acted upon.

Keeping your class up to date and providing effective feedback: As a Class Rep, it is really important that you keep your class informed of what the Students’ Union is doing. All Class Reps must ensure that their class is made aware of the issues that arise at Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn and anything that will affect the class. Also feedback to the students you are representing, on course board meetings or any other meetings held with regard to the class is essential. It is also vital that you give feedback on your work in relation to issues raised to your classmates.

Correspondence and keeping records: Remember that you are committing yourself to a statement once it is in writing. Ensure the details of your documents are accurate and written in a respectful manner. If you need someone to check over a document to ensure it cannot be misinterpreted, email it to the Students’ Union, clearly marked as a draft document. Advice will then follow as to whether amendments or clarification is necessary prior to you sending it to the relevant member of the academic staff.

It is important to keep a record of what action you have taken so that you can follow up on any issues. The best way to keep records is to communicate through email and save a copy of all correspondence to a folder.

Providing services: At your own discretion you may choose to provide extra services to your class including organising class parties or online social events for the class (such as virtual coffee mornings or Netflix watch parties) or arranging to get class hoodies

12

Academic Integrity / An tIonracas Acadúil Academic Integrity is important because it means you are using your own work and not someone else’s, you are giving credit to other people or their work. If you are using essay mills or other paid websites you are engaging in contract cheating and it can stunt your academic growth.

How to avoid breaching Academic Integrity • Make sure to cite any sources you are using and not to pass work off as your own.

• Do not engage in contract cheating by using essay mills or websites such as Chegg.com • If you’re unsure whether you’re breaching academic integrity, please contact your lecturer or course coordinator.

Open Book Exams An open book exam allows you to use study materials, internet and books while doing your exam. This can take place either in a normal exam setting or it can also be used for an online exam/assessment instead of traditional formal written exams.

The DO’s of an open book exam: • Make sure you study and prepare in advance • Organise your notes, make sure you bookmark them for easy access • Prepare your summaries in advance • Remember to reference.

The DON’Ts of an open book exam • Don’t copy and paste anything • Don’t use someone else’s answer • Don’t forget references • Don’t use essay mills or websites like Chegg.

Plagiarism Plagiarism is the act of copying, including or directly quoting from the work of another without adequate acknowledgement – this includes in online exams.

How to avoid plagiarism • If the information you’re using is not your own – reference • Avoid copying and pasting information • Use your own words to answer the question • Don’t share your information with class mates.

Public Speaking / Óráidíocht Phoiblí As a Class Rep, one of you many functions is to inform your class of all the up and coming events and activities of the Students’ Union and indeed your own course activities. This involves getting up at the beginning or end of the class to address them. This can be intimidating at first (whether in person or online!) but with time it gets easier and you earn the respect of your classmates.

The following are some hints to help you to effectively communicate by way of a public address to a group of people.

Preparation: Always go through what you have to say in advance.

Knowledge: Always ensure you have all the information you need.

Relevance: Make sure what you have to say is of interest to the group.

Posture: Posture is one of the first things you say about yourself in public speaking. Learn to stand up straight, look trustworthy, confident, and assured. Give your speech in a mirror and pay special attention to your posture. Who you are addressing and where you are, will determine your posture within the group. Where and how you present yourself, will determine how people perceive you and what you are saying Voice: When speaking to a group it is important to consider the following in order to achieve your goal of getting your message across: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Speak at a suitable audible level.

Speak clearly.

Speak slowly without being to deliberate.

Avoid monotone, vary your pitch and tone.

Don’t be afraid of pauses.

Gestures: The use of gestures and facial expressions can considerably help you in the execution of your public address. Some of the options outlined below can help with your ability to attract the attention and maintain the open line of communication with the group.

Eye Contact: Include everyone and maintain eye contact at all times.

Smiling: An excellent way to keep a group’s attention.

Hand movements: To emphasise a point or elaborate but should not become a distraction for the group from the content of what you are saying so don’t overdo it.

Public Speaking Online • Make sure your camera is turned on (if your internet allows) • Make sure your sound/microphone is working • Be prepared and to the point (people’s attention span is shorter) • Have a clear background and make sure you have good lighting.

• Test your technology beforehand

16

Dealing with Personal Issues / Plé a Dhéanamh le Fadhbanna Pearsanta As a Class Rep it’s your job to keep informed on various services available so that if one of your students has an issue you should be able to direct them to the right people. Many students are merely unsure of both their problem, and how to deal with it. As a Class Rep you could well be the first person they tell.

Quick Pointers • Don’t presume you know how they’re feeling, even if you think you do.

• Listen to them.

• Don’t be judgmental.

• Don’t give advice.

• Don’t feel you should know all the answers.

• Don’t tell any of your friends, this will only hinder matters.

Remember!

It’s not your brief to deal with individual personal problems. You are not a counsellor and don’t ever feel obliged to deal with people on a personal level. When someone does have a problem, the best thing to do is refer them to one of the Student Counsellors or the SU Welfare and Equality Officer.

Services available to students It’s important that you’re aware of the services available to students. There are two main types of services available to students, services within the college, and external voluntary organisations. You may not be familiar with them all so if in doubt ask an officer in the SU! College Services College services are available to all registered students of NUI Galway, although sometimes on different levels, depending on the type of registered students. All services pride themselves on being friendly at all times.

A guide to Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn / Treoraí do Chomhairle an Chomhaltais Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn (SU Council) is a forum of students elected by their class to represent their interests to the Students’ Union (SU). Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn consists of all the Class Reps and the executive officers of the SU (the officers elected each March) and is chaired by the SU Council Chairperson. Each class ordinarily elects anything between one to four reps, depending on the size of the class. Class Reps mandate the executive officers to follow through on Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn decisions, policies etc. Essentially, the executive officers work for, and are accountable to, Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn. If we’re not doing our jobs, call us out on it.

What does Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn do? / Céard a dhéanann Comhairle an Chomhaltais?

• Oversee the work of the Executive officers • Act as an open forum for student issues, where issues of concern to students can be raised and action taken • Represent each class and College to the Students’ Union • Communicate information between the Executive officers and the various classes and Colleges • Elect student representatives to various university committees.

The whole point of Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn is to give the executive officers the best possible insight into what issues are affecting the students. Issues can then be brought to the attention of the executive officers and be dealt with as quickly as possible.

If we’re not made aware of issues, we can’t fix them. The executive officers also report to Comhairle Chomhaltas na Mac Léinn on what they’ve been up to in the course of their work, and what developments have occurred recently in the SU and the university as a whole.

Each executive officer presents a report at each Class Reps meeting, which allows the Reps to question the officers on how well or not they’re performing their duties. As mentioned earlier, the Class Reps can mandate the Students’ Union to undertake specific policies or do certain things.

The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) is the national representative body for the 354,000 students in third level education on the Island of Ireland. USI are a membership organisation – our members are our affiliated Students’ Unions around Ireland, North and South. USI is not made up of the officers alone, it is made up of every student in every affiliated college in the country – it’s your union, it’s your national voice!

USI works for: • An education and training system open to all, irrespective of any consideration of national origin, race, sex, sexuality, creed, political beliefs or economic circumstances, so that each individual can realise their full potential in the service of the Irish people.

• An education and training system that through the development of art and literature, natural and social sciences truly serves the interests of the people of Ireland.

• The right of students to a decent standard of living, with the right to adequate financial support, proper housing and future prospects of employment in Ireland.

• The defence and promotion of all democratic and human rights.

• The provision of student services for the benefit of the membership on the principle that control of student services should lie with the membership.

USI is run quite like a local Students’ Union on a national scale. Instead of class reps, we have SU sabbatical officers who represent your college in USI National Council, just like you represent your class at . Every member SU sends a certain number of delegates to Annual Congress (which is USI’s main decision-making body) at a ratio of one per 1,000 students and you could be one of your college’s delegates.

The USI Officer board 2021/22 is made up as follows: • President – Clare Austick • VP for Academic Affairs – Megan O’Connor • VP for Welfare – Somhairle Brennan • VP for Campaigns – Beth O’Reilly • VP for Equality & Citizenship – Bukky Adebowale • VP for the Border, Midlands and Western Region – Victor O’Loughlin • VP for the Southern Region – John Fortune • VP for the Dublin Region – Caoimhe O’Carroll • LU don Ghaeilge – Muireann Nic Corcráin • VP for Postgraduate Affairs – Jenna Barry • President NUS-USI - Ellen Fearon www.usi.ie • enquiries@usi.ie

The National Student Engagement Programme was launched in April 2016 by the Higher Education Authority (HEA), Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) and the Union of Students in Ireland (USI). The collaborative initiative began with two key strands of work: 1. The National Student Training Programme:

- Each pilot institution will run a new class rep training programme.

2. Developing Institutional Capacity:

- Each pilot institution will review current student engagement practices, identify

good practice and future work streams.

Working under the guidance of the National Student Engagement Principles, the National Student Engagement Programme will develop student capabilities to engage at all levels across the higher education system.

The programme sets out to achieve the following aims: • To develop student capabilities to engage in quality enhancement, quality assurance and other related activities at all levels of the higher education system.

• To support institutions in developing processes and activities which support/facilitate the meaningful engagement of students.

• To strengthen the value placed on student engagement across Ireland and develop tools and resources to support a common understanding and build effective practice.

• To lay the foundations to develop work beyond the pilot phase, to inform the implementation of a National Student Training Programme and increase capacity to progress this student engagement initiative.

• The programme also provides support to the institutions in developing processes and activities, in parallel with student training, which will support the continued engagement of students and extend the benefits of the student training to the wider student population and learning community.

NUI Galway is one of four Irish universities participating in the UniCoV project (www.unicov. org) to help detect and prevent the spread of COVID-19 among students and staff. This new research initiative involving twice weekly rapid antigen and saliva PCR testing, and wastewater monitoring is taking place in NUI Galway, Trinity College Dublin, University College Cork and University College Dublin. Its aim is to support, facilitate and sustain the return of face-to-face on campus activity.

Students’ Union

ENTS

What’s involved? By way of a video, volunteers will be trained to perform rapid nasal swab tests and provide saliva samples for PCR testing for 2-week or 8-week periods. After taking the twice-weekly tests, volunteers photograph/report the results via a web-enhanced application, and submit saliva samples twice weekly at an on-campus drop off point. If the rapid test result is positive, you will be clearly instructed on what to do next.

Watch the explainer video HERE Remember, testing alone doesn’t stop COVID-19 transmission. Please continue to follow Public Health Guidance……Wear A Mask, Avoid crowds, Wash your hands and Stay apart.
