The Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) provides a voice for students to share their feedback with the department. The SSLC is discussion space where students and the department work together to focus the student voice into enhancing your experience. The SSLC Chair and Secretary are both students.

• If you wish to contact one of your year reps then please click here to see who your year reps are and get in touch.
• To contact your Statistics representatives, contact statistics.sslc@warwick.ac.uk. This email is managed by the Chair and Secretary.
• Members of SSLC also sit on a number of department committees including the Teaching Committee and Welfare, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (WEDIC).

We evaluate you by marking your coursework and exams. In turn, you evaluate us.

During term, we'll invite you to complete an online evaluation questionnaire. This gives you the opportunity to express your views on various aspects of the module. We really value the feedback we receive from you, and are often able to make improvements after hearing your thoughts and suggestions.

Departmental management reviews comments and publishes a summary of results.

This video explains further, and when module evaluations are available, you'll be notified via your module Moodle page.

For Lecturers:

The Department of Statistics runs a teaching prize to recognise good teaching, enhance teaching excellence and support sharing of good practice.

The teaching prize was inaugurated in 2019. Previous winners include Dr Elke Thönnes, Dr Massimiliano Tamborrino, Dr Giuseppe Cannizzaro and Dr Richard Everitt.

During Term 2 you are invited to submit nominations for any members of staff from the department of Statistics.

For Tutorial Leaders:

We also run a teaching prize for those delivering tutorials in an excellent way. This will be awarded termly (excluding term 3). We invite nominations during each term up until 5pm on the final day of that given term.

Not only can you nominate a teacher for a Statistics award, but for the centrally recognised Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence (WATEs).

They offer a familiar and well-loved monument to the successful educators within the teaching community. Previous department winners are Dr Nick Tawn and Dr Martyn Parker.
