This report presents the findings and recommendations of the 2025 Expert Group review of the Irish National Framework for Student Success in Higher Education. Commissioned by the HEA, it explores how the framework and accompanying toolkit have been engaged with across the sector and outlines a renewed vision for student success that is inclusive, strategic, and evidence-informed.
This document provides a summary of the book “MÉTODO DE LOS RELOJES. GRAMÁTICA DESCRIPTIVA DEL ESPAÑOL” authored by Manuel Perez Saiz, which serves as the foundation for the UCC Spanish grammar course.
This report discusses the views of final year students and graduates who attended a TCD led, multi-institutional one-day workshop on what student success means to them, and what they identified as the facilitators of and barriers to achieving that success. The findings were based on the analysis of four types of inputs for the seminar: written submissions by students on the theme prior to the seminar, student talks, a panel discussion and workshop discussions on the day of the seminar. In order to have a framework to discuss the concept at the seminar, a thematic analysis was performed on the written submissions which students submitted prior to the seminar. Three broad categories of success were identified: academic, personal and social. While initially academic success features predominantly, as students progress through their studies, they develop a more holistic perspective where personal and social success become increasingly important to them. Student success is a broad concept. It is different for and personal to each student and changes with the student’s journey from initial entry to college through to graduation.

We were both impressed and worried to witness the rapid escalation in the ability of tools like ChatGPT to conjure credible-seeming scholarly prose ex-nihilo. Rather than leaving the assessment strategy in MEEN3010 exposed to AI plagiarism, we decided to shift the focus towards a more authentic and interactive learning activity; a poster session.
During the Spring trimester of 2024, in the UCD ‘Robotics Design Project’ (EEEN10020) module with 54 first-year undergraduate engineering students, we deliberately revised the assessment strategy. We evolved a take-home assignment into a pair of supervised in-class exercises.
