Student Academic Reps serve as a vital link between students and the school, university and Students' Union. Each programme across the university has Student Academic Reps, who are elected to represent their cohort on educational matters. Mae Cynrychiolwyr Academaidd Myfyrwyr yn gwasanaethu fel cyswllt hanfodol rhwng myfyrwyr a'r ysgol, y brifysgol ac Undeb y Myfyrwyr. Mae gan bob rhaglen ar draws y brifysgol Gynrychiolwyr Academaidd Myfyrwyr, sy'n cael eu hethol i gynrychioli eu carfan ar faterion addysgol.

What is a Student Academic Representative? Beth yw Cynrychiolydd Academaidd Myfyrwyr?

Every programme has a Student Academic Rep to represent the views of their cohort. Within the 24 schools at Cardiff University, this means over 1000 Reps every year across the organisation. Reps bridge the gap between students and staff members, gathering relevant feedback, raising it at meetings, and reporting back on any outcomes. Mae gan bob rhaglen Gynrychiolydd Academaidd Myfyrwyr i gynrychioli barn eu carfan. O fewn 24 ysgol ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, mae hyn yn golygu dros 1000 o Gynrychiolwyr ar draws y sefydliad bob blwyddyn. Mae cynrychiolwyr yn pontio’r bwlch rhwng myfyrwyr ac aelodau staff, gan gasglu adborth perthnasol, ei godi mewn cyfarfodydd, ac adrodd yn ôl ar unrhyw ganlyniadau.

What types of issues do Student Academic Reps deal with? Pa fathau o faterion y mae Cynrychiolwyr Academaidd Myfyrwyr yn delio â nhw?

Student Academic Reps are elected to speak on behalf of their cohorts’ educational concerns. This means they deal with issues or problems that arise regarding the course (including assessments and feedback, module content, or timetabling). They are not expected to deal with any wellbeing concerns or personal matters relating to students on their course. However, they will be able to signpost students with such concerns to appropriate university services. Mae Cynrychiolwyr Academaidd Myfyrwyr yn cael eu hethol i siarad ar ran pryderon addysgol eu carfannau. Mae hyn yn golygu eu bod yn delio â materion neu broblemau sy’n codi ynghylch y cwrs (gan gynnwys asesiadau ac adborth, cynnwys modiwlau, neu amserlennu). Nid oes disgwyl iddynt ddelio ag unrhyw bryderon lles na materion personol sy’n ymwneud â myfyrwyr ar eu cwrs. Fodd bynnag, byddant yn gallu cyfeirio myfyrwyr sydd â phryderon o'r fath at wasanaethau prifysgol priodol.

How do I find the Student Academic Rep for my school? Sut mae dod o hyd i’r Cynrychiolydd Academaidd Myfyrwyr ar gyfer fy ysgol?

Your Student Academic Rep should make themselves known to you in the first few weeks of the year. You can also find the details of your Rep by filtering by your college, school, and year in the Find My Rep widget above. Dylai eich Cynrychiolydd Academaidd Myfyrwyr gyflwyno ei hunain yn ystod wythnosau cyntaf y flwyddyn. Gallwch hefyd ddod o hyd i fanylion eich Cynrychiolydd drwy hidlo yn ôl eich coleg, ysgol, a blwyddyn yn y teclyn Dod o Hyd i Fy Nghynrychiolydd uchod.

Where does feedback go? I ble mae adborth yn mynd?

The university has a comprehensive committee structure that is designed to ensure that all feedback can be resolved or discussed at the appropriate level. Any feedback that is passed onto Student Academic Representatives will be raised with school staff at a Student Staff Panel meeting. Depending on the nature of the issue, the panel of staff and students may find a solution, which will then be communicated back to students. If no solution can be found, the issue will be allocated to another appropriate committee, who will work towards an outcome. Mae gan y brifysgol strwythur pwyllgor cynhwysfawr sydd wedi’i gynllunio i sicrhau y gellir datrys neu drafod yr holl adborth ar y lefel briodol. Bydd unrhyw adborth a drosglwyddir i Gynrychiolwyr Academaidd Myfyrwyr yn cael ei godi gyda staff yr ysgol mewn cyfarfod Panel Staff Myfyrwyr. Yn dibynnu ar natur y mater, gall y panel o staff a myfyrwyr ddod o hyd i ateb, a fydd wedyn yn cael ei gyfleu'n ôl i'r myfyrwyr. Os na ellir dod o hyd i ateb, bydd y mater yn cael ei ddyrannu i bwyllgor priodol arall, a fydd yn gweithio tuag at ganlyniad.

What is a Student Staff Panel? Beth yw Panel Staff Myfyrwyr?

Student Staff Panels are meetings that occur between Student Academic Representatives and staff within the school. These happen once per semester and exist to ensure that there is an effective dialogue between staff and students. These are led by a student Chair and Vice-Chair, and facilitation is supported by school staff. Any outcomes from Student Staff Panel meetings should be communicated with all students. Mae Paneli Staff Myfyrwyr yn gyfarfodydd sy'n digwydd rhwng Cynrychiolwyr Academaidd Myfyrwyr a staff o fewn ysgol. Mae'r rhain yn digwydd unwaith y semester ac yn bodoli i sicrhau bod deialog effeithiol rhwng staff a myfyrwyr. Mae'r rhain yn cael eu harwain gan Gadeirydd ac Is-gadeirydd myfyrwyr a’u hwyluso gan staff yr ysgol. Dylid cyfleu unrhyw ganlyniadau o gyfarfodydd Panel Staff Myfyrwyr i bob myfyriwr.

What is a College Forum? Beth yw Fforwm Coleg?

College Forums are meetings facilitated by the Students’ Union and provide an opportunity for Reps to report issues that cannot be resolved at a Student Staff Panel. These are split by college and are chaired by a Sabbatical Officer. The Chair and Vice-Chair of each Student Staff Panel will be invited to attend and provide an update on the items discussed at their latest meeting. College Deans and professional service staff will also be in attendance, so if there is any feedback that is not suitable for a Student Staff Panel, it can be raised at a College Forum. Mae Fforymau Coleg yn gyfarfodydd a hwylusir gan Undeb y Myfyrwyr ac maent yn rhoi cyfle i Gynrychiolwyr adrodd ar faterion na ellir eu datrys mewn Panel Staff Myfyrwyr. Mae'r rhain wedi'u rhannu yn ôl coleg ac yn cael eu cadeirio gan Swyddog Sabothol. Gwahoddir Cadeirydd ac Is-gadeirydd pob Panel Staff Myfyrwyr i fynychu a rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am yr eitemau a drafodwyd yn eu cyfarfod diweddaraf. Bydd Deoniaid Coleg a staff gwasanaeth proffesiynol hefyd yn bresennol, felly os oes unrhyw adborth nad yw'n addas ar gyfer Panel Staff Myfyrwyr, gellir ei godi mewn Fforwm Coleg.

As a Student Academic Rep, how can I communicate with my cohort? Fel Cynrychiolydd Academaidd Myfyrwyr, sut alla i gyfathrebu â fy ngharfan?

Getting feedback from your cohort can be challenging, but your school can support you with this. Each school has different ways of doing this, so it is a good idea to get in touch with your Student Rep Coordinator and see what methods have been successful for previous Reps. Try to consider what may be best for your cohort – if you have an active group chat, it may be a good idea to utilise it, but if you do not communicate very often, asking staff to help you with mailing the cohort directly may help. Gall cael adborth gan eich carfan fod yn heriol, ond gall eich ysgol eich cefnogi gyda hyn. Mae gan bob ysgol wahanol ffyrdd o wneud hyn, felly mae'n syniad da cysylltu â'ch Cydlynydd Cynrychiolwyr Myfyrwyr a gweld pa ddulliau sydd wedi bod yn llwyddiannus ar gyfer Cynrychiolwyr blaenorol. Ceisiwch ystyried beth allai fod orau i'ch carfan - os oes gennych sgwrs grŵp weithredol, efallai y byddai'n syniad da ei defnyddio, ond os nad ydych chi'n cyfathrebu'n aml iawn, gallai gofyn i staff eich helpu i anfon post at y garfan yn uniongyrchol helpu.
