Link-ups aim to cheer up the maze of confusion

Article Abstract:

Oxford Brookes University, England, has reformed its student support system. The system is under threat in universities throughout the United Kingdom due to the increase in student numbers, which means that personal tutors have more students assigned to them. Student link coordinators help new students and pass on serious problems to staff. The student intake has changed in character as the proportion of mature students has increased, with more demands on their time. Students also have a performance review from staff each term .
