Annual Reports to the Senate of the University of Glasgow regarding the School of Art and its courses of study. The reports include an overview of the School of Art's academic and related activities during the session and provide an account of how the School has acquitted its responsibilities in relation to quality assurance and enhancement. The Report to Senate also includes: Overview of the Session; Annual Course Monitoring Reports; Response to External Examiners' Comments; and Student Statistics. In most years the Course Reports, Academic Plans, and External Examiner's Reports were compiled into the appendices of the Annual Report to the Senate of the University of Glasgow however for the purposes of this catalogue, these documents have been separated into their own series. See AC/5/2-4 below. Many of these Reports to Senate of the University of Glasgow are copies that were made for meetings of the Board of Governors so some have cover sheets relating to the meeting and most of these reports do not include the appendices due to the size of the document. As explained above, the appendices referred to are the Annual Course Reports, Academic Plans and External Examiner's Reports that can be found at AC/5/2-4 below. Reports to Senate as follows: AC/5/1/1: Annual Report to Senate, 1997-1998 AC/5/1/2: Annual Report to Senate, 1998-1999 AC/5/1/3: Annual Report to Senate, 1999-2000 AC/5/1/4: [2000-2001 wanting] AC/5/1/5: Annual Report to Senate, 2001-2002 AC/5/1/6: Annual Report to Senate, 2002-2003 AC/5/1/7: Annual Report to Senate, 2003-2004 AC/5/1/8: Annual Report to Senate, 2004-2005 AC/5/1/9: Annual Report to Senate, 2005-2006 AC/5/1/10: Annual Report to Senate, 2006-2007 AC/5/1/11: Annual Report to Senate, 2007-2008 AC/5/1/12: Annual Report to Senate, 2008-2009 AC/5/1/13: Annual Report to Senate, 2009-2010 AC/5/1/14: Annual Report to Senate, 2010-2011 AC/5/1/15: Annual Report to Senate, 2011-2012
