There is a school behind. Final and entrance exams passed. Yesterday’s student became a student. The first of September came. Our student, so bewildered, but happy, goes to university. And comes back from there preoccupied. The group’s methodologist announced that he will become a headman.
Poor student with quiet shock. What are the responsibilities of the head of the group at the university? Why did you choose him? How to behave with classmates? After all, they didn’t really meet, the guys don’t know what to expect from the headman. And the elder, according to many, is the same informer.
Do not panic! We will help to deal with responsibilities.
Who is the elder?
This is a sneaky snitch who smiles in the eye. And he runs with slander to the dean’s office, a sort of villain.
In fact, such an answer is false. The headman is the "head" of the group, which is subordinate to the higher leadership. His task is to monitor order, collaborate with the dean on academic issues, organize training and active events in the group, and resolve conflict issues.
Why do we need an elder?
What is the responsibility of the head of the group at the university, we found out. Let's take a closer look at this.
The "head" of the group holds internal meetings. They are related to the solution of relevant educational and disciplinary issues.
Keeps a journal of visits. This is on the daily duties list.
Collaborates with the dean's office on class breakdowns, schedule changes and other issues.
Promptly informs students of his group about the decisions of the dean’s office, curriculum changes, the beginnings and dates of sessions, and the ability to transfer debts.
Collaborates with the dean's office on issues of violation of students' rights, conflicts that have arisen with teachers.
Resolves conflicts within a group.
Actively agitate students to participate in various university events.
Having learned about these responsibilities of the head of the group at the university, I just want to say: "Tanyusha has a lot to do." What are the advantages and disadvantages of the "post" of the elders can be distinguished? More about this below.
pros
The fattest plus is not even that the head of the group has material allowances for their activities. In addition to the main scholarship, he is paid extra for the "position".
The main plus in the ability to be "on a short leg" with the dean's office and most teachers. And this gives its advantages:
Overpricing.
The ability to "otmazyvatsya" in case of missing classes
The ability to ask for a student.
The headman is always in the know about the events taking place at the department.
Communicating with teachers, he knows to whom which key can be picked up.
disadvantages
The responsibilities of the head of the group at the university have pros and cons. And if the first is clear, then the second has yet to figure out:
The attitude of the group to the "boss". It's no secret that classmates do not like classmates. Although, you can build relationships. How to do this, consider below.
We have to keep a visit log. And many will ask to "cover" their absenteeism.
All cones get the elders. They are scolded for poor performance and lack of discipline in the group, for not timely transmitted information on a particular issue, for the prevention of conflicts with teachers. In general, the headman is a "scapegoat".
You have to be a model of the right behavior. What absenteeism is there? Only absence for valid reasons, documented.
The elder must study well. And if he is an excellent student, then there is no such price. Why should study be on par? Because the headman is an example for other students of the group.
Who do the elders choose?
What are the responsibilities of group wardens at college and university? We figured out this question. And now about what qualities the “head" of a group should possess:
If you feel that such a role is not your nature, refuse immediately. You’ll be tormented yourself, you will lose contact with classmates and begin to look askance at the dean’s office.
How to choose an elder?
It all starts at the dean’s office. They study the student’s autobiography and, based on it, draw conclusions about the character of the candidate. The headman is appointed by the dean, and the methodologist of the group reports the decision. As a rule, this happens in early September.
The elder is selected for the first six months. After the winter session, students are entitled to re-elect the headman on their own. There are times when the headman was chosen in the first year, but remains in this position until the end of his studies at the university.
Does he have the right to refuse?
Spelled out in a special document, the duties of the headman of the group at the university. This document is statutory. In each university they are different, according to the charter of one or another educational institution.
If, having looked at the given leaflet, the student realized that he would not pull such a high "position", he could refuse it. To do this, you must come to the dean’s office, write a written application and state the reasons why a student cannot fulfill the duties of a headman.
The main good reasons are various diseases in the student or his relatives, which need care. Good reasons include a part-time student after school in order to feed himself and his family.
Character traits that do not correspond to those which the elder must possess do not belong to valid reasons. But you can explain to the dean that you do not have them. As a rule, the dean meets students who have refused the role of headman.
Group Relations
How to combine the duties of the head of the group at the university and not spoil relations with students?
It's a difficult question. To solve it, the elder must have charm, willpower, and be able to communicate his position kindly. Let's look at an example.
There is a malicious truant in the group. And he constantly asks not to record his absence in the visit journal. The headman complied with his requests until he was summoned to the dean's office. And they did not press on the cap for covering truant. And what to do to the poor headman?
If you start to swear with truant, accusing him of all sins, nothing good will come of it. And to talk kindly, explain your point of view so that the wicked understands it is worth a try.
This truant will come to classes, recall him aside and say that there is no longer any opportunity to cover him. The dean swears, because the teachers complained about the constant absence of this student. They began to check the visit log, and there they found a surprise.
And all this is said with a smile on his face. Complain that they received a hat. Like, I would not mind covering up, but they check the magazine, as it turned out.
Or we can say that the institute is a training ground. Not a job yet, but not a school. How will a negligent student skip work? There no one will cover from the authorities, they will be fired at the moment. All this is said clearly, convincingly, but not aggressively. Keep in mind: this option is more stringent. And it can cause a response, usually negative.
Conclusion
These are the responsibilities of the group headman at the university. This is not easy, as it turned out. It is one thing to record gaps in the journal and quite another to be in constant collaboration with teachers and the dean's office. If character allows, take on this matter. If you understand that you can’t be a good headman, it’s better not to try.
