(Applicable for both elective and Theory courses)

Responsibilities/Duties of a Class Representative

• Main Role: Act as a prime official channel of communication between teacher and rest of the class, for all monitoring formalities.
• Appraise students that mobile phone is strictly prohibited in class room, lab sessions, and tutorials/exam hall.
• Punctuality maintained by all students for arriving in classroom (none should not be late by more than 10-15 minutes).
• Get an undertaking from all the students that nobody will volunteer to give proxy for others, during signing of attendance. Proxies identified will be reported.
• Should not take any matter to the teacher, which benefits only a few students, without taking permission of the entire class. ( e.g: Shifting of class hours, tutorials, exam schedule, alteration of marks distribution etc).
• Keep a watch on the schedule for the entire semester and report/discuss with teachers for any modification required well in advance (preferably more than a month).
• Expected to have good rapport with all students and have a cordial relation with them.
• Identify problem cases (students not studying/interested) and report to the teacher.
• Reporting to the teacher may be simply done by email, once in a week or two, unless some urgent matters emerge.
• Make announcements (by email of pts. 2-4) to students at the beginning of semester and then periodic ones (tutorials, submissions, TPA, any notifications by TA or teacher in class etc.) as reminders.
• Small issues (e.g. attendance status, tutorial marks) may be sorted out with TAs only.
