RSMU: Vice President Education

Hello,

During my time in RSM, I have been a Dep Rep, Geophysics soc presdient, and a year rep.

In these roles, I was able to create tangible, meaningful changes.

What I've delivered so far:

  • Common Room refurbishment
    • I worked closely with ICU, making ESE the first departments to successfully upgrade our space based on student feedback
  • Revival of Geophysics society
    • I reactived this previously dormant soc, transforming into a floursihing, active community
  • Greater assessment transparency
    • As a dep rep, I brought past year exam feedback to ESESIS, improving clarity and exam preparation
  • Improved communication
    • we have also started the student newsletter to better communicate changes made because of you!

MY AIM MOVING FORWARD

Assessments

  • Digitalisation of exam scripts and release unmarked exam papers
    • As a dep rep, I helped trial this initiative last term in Y3/4 modules
  • I aim to continue this effort so that students can better reflect on their exam performance
  • Working alongside the central college to reduce exam workload

Teaching

  • Feedback literacy remains a key issue across deparments
  • Receiving feedback is important but so is knowing how to use it!
  • I'll work with the departmental teaching commitee and ICU to ensure:
    • practical support on using feedback
    • clearer post-exam guidance

Representation

  • As someone deeply embedded in ICU rep network, I understand how departmental and ICU operates
  • I'll support departmental and year reps to ensure their work aligns with the college and ICU
  • RSMU has traditionally been overshadowed by CGCU and under-represented in the Faculty of Engineeirng
