Reviews at UWS
Reviews
UWS uses a combination of reviews to track the extent to which its plans and key strategic objectives are being consistently and effectively implemented. Whenever possible, reviews are embedded into ongoing tracking and improvement systems e.g. the UWS Annual Course Reports.
UWS has a range of systems to ensure that review processes are informed by data. For example, Learning and Teaching has theUWS Tracking and Improvement System for Learning and Teaching (TILT). University engagement reviews draw upon the UWS engagement database. Research reviews and research training produce a range of tracking and performance reports.
