Introduction to the course rep role - sparqs

sparqs has developed a simple three-slide presentation that introduces the course rep role. It explains:
- What the role involves.
- What you get out of doing the role.
- What to do if you are interested.
It can be customised for individual institutions, courses and so on, to be used in induction information or class talks. It can equip teaching staff to understand and convey the role of course rep to their classes in a way that is concise yet informative.
