My Priorities

Wrapping up last year’s Top 10 on incremental deductions for late coursework submissions, so small delays don’t result in disproportionate penalties.
Pushing for assessment resits to improve marks up to the pass mark, recognising learning and academic progress rather than locking grades at the first attempt.
Holding the University to account on high-quality, constructive coursework feedback that students can genuinely use to improve.
Pressing for meaningful exam feedback, ensuring all students receive clear, actionable guidance, beyond just a mark or generic comments.
Advocating for the expansion of early provisional exam marks, reducing unnecessary waiting and giving students clearer insight into where they stand.

Securing the option to defer assessment, giving students the choice to delay exams when they’re not in a position to sit them.
Continuing to call for common DAP adjustments to become standard practice, so more students are supported without having to ask.
Working towards better lecture catch-up, with clear summaries, annotated materials, and recordings or other high-quality alternatives, so students can get back on track.
Continuing to push for inclusive, student-informed study spaces, building on successes like the Woodland Lounge.

Strengthening a sense of belonging at department level by supporting student-led initiatives and advocating for dedicated spaces and activities that bring students together.
Streamlining systems for Academic Reps by cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, making it easier to give feedback, share best practice, track ongoing issues, and see what progress has been made.
Reforming unit evaluations, including clearer reporting on actions taken and exploring ways for students to see feedback when choosing units.
Continuing to advocate for recognition and reward of student leaders, and pushing for remuneration where appropriate.
Reopening a study space in Oldfield Park, transforming Scala Hall into a convenient student hub when not in use by our student groups.
