Hi all,

Things I will like to do:

  • Ensure better checks by department’s feedback on essays.
  • I will raise issues with representatives regarding Moodle shutdowns when there is a delay in student tuition fee payments.
  • Constructive Feedback on exams should be given effectively and efficiently to all students.
  • Host student rep forums twice a term to make sure the SU and student body remain informed about what is going on at the departmental level.
  • Ensure lectures are recorded for improved accessibility.
  • More tailored guidance on how to write essays for first years students. I will put forward the implementation of workshops available to students as soon as courses begin.
