Overview: Course convenorship

Introduction

The Course Convenorship sub-category provides for the listing of various course convenorships listed by course code and institution.

If you have previously selected the Course Convenorship check box when capturing a Formal Course entry in the Courses Taught sub-category, this information will be listed with this Course Convenorship sub-category.

There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add.

Existing entries may be edited / updated subsequently, if required, or deleted.

Entries may be manually sorted into a logical order which will be used when generating CV’s and displaying on websites.

Each subsequent entry on this page will be listed in a new row and will be displayed alternately in a blue / black font colour. This formatting is only used within the Researcher Profile context and purely for ease of visual display of multiple entries.
