Using the SLE model as a Course Rep 2025-26 - sparqs

Alongside the revised Student Learning Experience model, sparqs has updated the set of suggested questions for course reps for 2025-26. These questions can help reps collect feedback from classmates in specific thematic areas.
Collecting student feedback enables course reps to work in partnership with staff to co-design effective solutions to the issues that students bring, enabling students to have a positive experience of learning.
The document contains several questions organised under the nine building blocks of the SLE Model.
Some students’ associations organise reps to collect feedback on selected topics at specific times of year. You can direct all reps to collect feedback under the same themes, using the same SLE Questions.
This can be done for the whole institution or alternatively at faculty / school level, overseen by faculty reps / school officers.
This resource is updated annually to reflect the current landscape in which students are learning.
