]]> Thu, 4 Jun 2009 04:15:31 UTC 5616532 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5538480?utm_medium=rss The Joint Honours Department is one of the main reasons I chose to come to Leeds, and from speaking to perspective students at UCAS open days this year is one of the reasons for choosing the university, but getting rid of the centre I believe that the university will loose one of its differential advantages it has against other uni. This change will make JH Students less represented and may force them to major in one of their subjects and be treated like an elective student in its other subject

There is also the risk of us becoming 'second class' as the parent department may favour it's single honour students.

]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 04:27:53 UTC 5469686 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5469655?utm_medium=rss Tue, 12 May 2009 04:21:01 UTC 5469655 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5469495?utm_medium=rss Tue, 12 May 2009 03:53:58 UTC 5469495 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5466737?utm_medium=rss Tue, 12 May 2009 09:19:43 UTC 5466737 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5465624?utm_medium=rss I believe that the centre of Joint Honours (CJH) offers a valuable service, especially in a student's first year. For example in my degree all modules are optional in 1st year and neither of my subject schools knew about my degree. Without the CJH I would have found my studies more difficult. However I believe that as a student progreses they should become more integrated in one school if they choose to major in it, more mixing between single and joint honours students is also encouraged.

]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 04:53:12 UTC 5465624 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5465551?utm_medium=rss Tue, 12 May 2009 04:31:12 UTC 5465551 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5465337?utm_medium=rss It's great having one place to go that will likely know the answer to most questions. Trecking around campus to two, or three in some peoples cases, different schools to get the needed help is going to make things more difficult, especially for freshers, than going and getting the help in one place. Also, you often in my experience get conflicting advice from the different schools if you ask them before CJH.

I beleive it is the right way to deal with double honurs students as putting us in the department of one subject would overshadow the other, which is could be one of the reasons 2 subjects were origninally chosen.

]]> Sun, 10 May 2009 04:14:40 UTC 5457098 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5456216?utm_medium=rss Sun, 10 May 2009 12:55:23 UTC 5456216 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5455798?utm_medium=rss Sun, 10 May 2009 11:16:52 UTC 5455798 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5454376?utm_medium=rss During my time at Leeds Uni, I have found the Centre for Joint Honours to be a very welcome resource. Indeed, with my background as a mature student who took a CJH foundation course to gain entry, without them it is doubtful I would even have studied there. I firmly believe I could not have got the same encouragement and help from either of the schools my degree was involved with. I believe it is a hugely shortsighted decision to disband it, and I hope and trust that it will be reconsidered.

]]> Sun, 10 May 2009 04:48:48 UTC 5454376 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5452307?utm_medium=rss I am a recent graduate of Leeds University and found the support of the Joint Honours department invaluable. The Centre for Joint Honours is essential, studying two subjects in different departments can cause no end of problems and without the help of the CJH, these problems can affect students course grades and even lead to students dropping out. I know I would not have graduated without their support and closure of the centre will mean other like myself may not make it to graduation.

]]> Sat, 9 May 2009 01:38:46 UTC 5452307 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5451646?utm_medium=rss Sat, 9 May 2009 11:00:38 UTC 5451646 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5445940?utm_medium=rss The centre has been excellent in organisation and dealing with administrative issues, and I feel a sense of belonging by having the CJH as my parent department. I feel that students will become more, not less dissociated from their teaching schools if the CJH is disbanded. Most importantly for me, I felt that I had an immense amount of support from the CJH when I experienced a bereavement this year, and through them I was able to sort out both academic and some personal anxieties.

]]> Fri, 8 May 2009 11:17:24 UTC 5445940 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5445197?utm_medium=rss I do believe that what the CJH do is of great importace for the students. It gives a great chance to have coordination between the different schools

]]> Fri, 8 May 2009 09:41:16 UTC 5445197 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5445124?utm_medium=rss The two subjects in my joint honours degree are so diverse that neither of the departments know about the other. The Joint Honours centre has been vitally important in giving me the full picture rather than just a biased half and half I get from each department. Without this centre my degree will be a lot more complex in the future, you are making a big mistake to get rid of it and leaving students like myself stuck in limbo.

]]> Fri, 8 May 2009 09:26:52 UTC 5445124 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5444609?utm_medium=rss I cannot comprehend why it would be advantageous for the University to close the CJH. They have provided endless support and bridged the gap between my two academic departments. Without the CJH I strongly believe that students will get 'lost' between their subjects, and will be valued less. The CJH are incredibly supportive and know individual circumstances, and it would be a great loss if the department was to be abolished.

]]> Fri, 8 May 2009 07:57:57 UTC 5444609 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5444113?utm_medium=rss Joint Honours is a great way for students to cultivate anumber of skills! Also the pupils involved in the joint honours centre create close friendships through having a area to relax, converse and do homework!
If Leeds want to share the credability other estalished universities share i feel closing joint honours centre would be a step in the wrong direction

Without a centre to properly orchestrate the difficulties with settling students into 2 subject areas, I imagine it will be managed very poorly.

It is more personal having it as a parent department and I have always found the Joint Honours in Science staff very helpful. It would be a shame to get rid of it.

I fail to see how one parent department can deal with problems I may have in the other. I feel the amount of communication that would need to take place between the two departments would result in mistakes being made.

The parent departments would never be able to succesfully help the needs of a JH student as they would be able single honours, and i feel it's a great shame that the decision to close JH has been made. I hope people's thoughts will be taken into consideration and this mistake will be rectified.

I have been selected to undertake a year abroad with the school of english next year and without the Centre would have been hard pressed to find all the different people from both my courses to sign all the various forms. Ida Kemp has been immensely helpful and I couldn't imagine coping well without the CJH. Laura Holden

Joint honours school has definately helped me when i've had problems. They are my first point of call and tell me who i need to talk to, to sort things out. Without joint honours i wouldn't have a clue who to go to, and i'd rather have a personal tutor who understands that their school isnt my only school

I saw it as an advantage over Universities without a similar set up. At most universities i would have been part of the maths department (as i assume it will be here), which made me feel like my degree was just a maths degree with a bit of economics on the side, which is not what i wanted. I have also gained a lot from the Joint Honours society and play for the Joint Honours rugby team. It would be such a shame to see it go.

I really appreciate their presence and feel that the fact they are a separate department gives them the time and resources to make this support available and meaningful. I doubt they would have had the time or ability to be as understanding and encouraging if they were part of the larger single school departments.

]]> Wed, 6 May 2009 09:37:48 UTC 5434430 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5434356?utm_medium=rss Please keep the CJH open! It really helps to have a centre which understands the needs of people studying Joint Honours without being biased towards either subject. Belonging to one subject department and not the other would make it very difficult to keep my study time and attention to both subjects balanced and would mean that I was far better informed about University procedures and so on for one subject than the other. Having the Joint Honours dept. really makes a huge difference.

I do not feel that either of my departments would be able to privide the level of support I have received from the JH. Please reverse the decision as whilst it will not effect me I feel that future students will be detrimented by the disbanding of the CJH.
