Chanchal’s kicking goals in the ASR program
|
|
Academic Student Representatives (ASRs) like Chanchal play a crucial role in shaping teaching and learning at UniSA by representing student views, gathering feedback, and suggesting improvements. Chanchal is currently studying a Master of Social Work and she’s sharing her journey and accomplishments in the ASR Program.
“I volunteered to become an ASR because I wanted to make a positive impact and bridge the gap between students and faculty members. Since becoming an ASR, I have been part of several improvements within my program.
One
of the most significant initiatives was introducing actors for role-play during mock interviews. We received feedback from students that they faced issues recording their mock interviews, as they had to find someone willing to act as a client. We proposed introducing actors to do role-play, giving students a realistic experience of interviewing a “client." This significantly enhanced the course experience and learning for students, as they no longer need to find a friend or family member for the assessment, making it more professional.
We’ve
also discussed changing assignment deadlines to help students manage their assignments alongside placement preparation, and we’ve created additional learning resources for international students, which are crucial for those who find it challenging to understand certain courses due to language barriers or cultural differences.”
