The Program Committee (PC) is responsible for giving advice concerning education and exam regulations that have to be approved every year, and for evaluating the quality of education. The PC consists of six students and six teachers. The PC considers both course evaluations and teacher's reactions to those, and evaluates the quality of the courses. They also give advice, even unsolicited, to the Director of Education and the Education Board.

Besides these things the PC is also a body consisting partially of students that you as a student can approach with issues regarding specific courses, the curriculum or the like. Each quarter the PC organises a walk-in session where accompanied by free drinks and cookies you can talk to the student members of the PC about any of the courses from that quarter. If something happens in the middle of the quarter, it is something you would rather not talk about in person or you just prefer using email for any other reason then also feel free to contact us at pc-students@cs.ru.nl for the students of the PC and at olc@cs.ru.nl for the entire PC. For more information about the members or anything related to the PC you can also look here.
