The Quality Peer Reviewer participated in a dynamic process of rigorous quality review, gaining insight into broader strategic, organisational and academic issues across the institution. The earner had the opportunity to explore and represent issues pertaining to the wider student body, while retaining an objective, considered perspective in the context of the review process. The earner also had the opportunity to engage with, and learn from, highly experienced national and international discipline experts. In turn, the Badge Earner appraised and lead the Panel on local student issues, and critically, contributed to enhancing the quality of the student experience at UCC. As a full Panel Member, the earner had the opportunity to advance their critical skills through analysis and interrogation of the documentation, engagement with other Panel Members and stakeholders, and exercised leadership in relation to influencing outcomes to enhance the student learning experience.
