Go higher Robyn. Make it the head of department/school/faculty's problem by camping in their office until you get a new supervisor. And tell you course rep to raise it as you won't be the only person affected. Oh and most important when you see the head honcho, mutter darkly about the NSS and how this may impact on the student perception of their time/treatment by staff. NSS is actually a very badly put together and misleading survey which is usually coloured by the most recent marks received but it is the easiest way to put the frighteners on a university as the perception of it is that it's a good indicator of the 'student experience'.

The dissertation convenor runs NSS at our uni so that might not work. Also she is scary.
I hopefully have a new supervisor though!
Robyn is apparently now on a society committee at university. Yay! 
Although a girl did just e-mail me about how she feels upset and lost at Fresher's because she doesn't drink and knows I don't either. Trying to help but probably failing.
