ICSMSU: Academic Officer (Medical Biosciences)

Struggling with studies? Out of lifelines? Lost in a minefield of pre-readings and ICAs? Worried that you failed the last test, and that other one, and the one before that?

I’m here to help!

As YOUR Academic Officer, I plan to…

  • Push strongly for drop-in sessions for ALL modules like in STAT to foster greater learning and communication opportunities directly between students and teaching staff.
  • Advocate for more interactive classes! Practicals are always fun and leave me thinking about the principles behind our studies. I believe that more classes with hands-on activities other than iRAT/tRAT/tAPPs will supplement our learning, especially earlier into each module.
  • Build on the current Committee's goal to establish whole-cohort study groups for ICAs, assessments, or especially tough topics covered in class, promoting collaboration and communication within larger groups.

…and MORE! I will not be pushing for changes based on my personal experiences alone. YOUR input is extremely valuable! I will work hard to negotiate for changes that each cohort or the entire course might want to see.

Though I may not be the most experienced candidate, I believe I am the best fit to be your BMB Academic Officer. I will put 130% into representing YOU, your academic voices, and making sure that your suggestions and opinions about our curriculum are noticed by our faculty.
