Materials (UG): Year Four Academic Representative

Hi everyone, you (hopefully) know me already from those emails last year reminding you of deadlines and revision sessions. Well I'm back to send more emails!

But of course that's not the only thing I do as our cohort's Academic Rep, as there is a lot more going on behind the scenes to ensure everything in our final year goes as smooth as possible. I'm always working with the Student Office and other academic staff to resolve any issues as they arise, and always working to keep communication as clear and open as possible.

As fourth years (already!), I think it is also important that we help improve the experience of incoming students, so we can graduate at the end of this year knowing that we helped make the Materials course even better! The feedback that you all have provided throughout third year was continuously relayed to those in charge, and some of those changes have already been implemented (such as removing 100% exams for core modules, something the incoming first years will never have to suffer through).

Anyways, thanks for taking the time out of your master's projects to vote, and I hope everyone has an amazing final year!
