Bioengineering (UG): Year Four Academic Representative (Mech Eng Stream)

Hii I’m María! Many of you will recognise my name because I was the y3 Mechanical Stream Academic Rep last year :)

So why should you re-elect me this year? Here are some things I worked on and achieved last year:

-Highlighted issues to the Department for the Winter exams

-Fairer exams eg. Biomechanics exam is now fairer time-wise (1 extra hour)

-Improved Departmental communication and organisation eg. We’re now told before the exam what calculator we’ll be given.

-Addressed and highlighted issues fast and efficiently eg. mistakes in Coursework, timetables, etc.

-Better coursework balance (time required to complete vs how much it’s worth)

My plans for this year are to continue the road of action started last year, to make any unexpected hiccups as smooth as possible and decrease any unnecessary stress.

I would love to continue representing you :)
