 The Robert Gordon University and Institut Teknologi Pertama, Malaysia, Institutional Review Reports, September 1999
The University stated that 'substantial guidance' to staff at ITP was also provided through materials such as teaching notes for each unit, sets of tutorial support papers and laboratory guidance sheets, but staff of the Institut who met the team could not confirm that such materials were uniformly available to them.
The University later expressed the view that the timing of this audit was unfortunate in that the new academic quality procedures were in their first year of operation, and that therefore 'the effectiveness of the totality of the University's revised procedures has not been fairly evaluated'.
The University operates this franchise with a 'lightness of touch' that is justified in many respects, but in other respects is too 'light' to provide effective guidance and support to help the Institut develop its own educational aims, and enhance the experience of its students.
