Hi, I'm Valentina and I’m running to be your Year One Academic Rep. As a first year chemistry student, I’ve noticed that many of us are expected to use physics and maths we never studied at A-level or IB. Many chemistry lectures require a base level of physics, and I have heard time and time again how it is making my friends feel significantly out of their depth. Other courses rely on maths, biology an ...
Hi Fellow Chemists! I'm William. My mission is simple: we shouldn't settle for static equilibrium, it's time to drive the student experience to maximum yield! Whether you're feeling the pressure of those Python workshops or scouring through a seemingly endless collection of A-Level Physics slides (as a Chemist), I am always ready to listen, advocate for & drive change! Nobody should have to suffer through the ...
Hi everyone, my name is Mia and I'm one of your fellow Year 1 Chemists this year! I would love to be one of your academic representatives and help to ensure that we all have a successful and enjoyable first year here at Imperial. I know that the uncertainty of the next few months can seem daunting - it is for me too... but, I hope that I would be able to reduce any stress or anxiety you may have around the academic s ...
In my first weeks at Imperial, I’ve noticed how difficult it can be to stay on top of everything. As Chemistry Academic Year Rep, I want to gather feedback and find ways to make course information and deadlines easier to navigate, so we can spend less time figuring out what’s happening and more time focusing on learning chemistry that we all love. Not every concern is easy to raise publicly. I’ll m ...
Turning Feedback into Reaction. I'm Elijah Zhang, a first-year Chemistry student at Imperial. Over the past few weeks, I have already realised how much easier university becomes when expectations are clear and information reaches students in time. Before joining Imperial, I served as a Year Representative at my secondary school. While the school traditionally focused on the Chinese Gaokao curriculum, an increasing ...
Do you care about your academic success? If you care about it, then you should slightly care about this election as well! Hi, I am Mariia, a first-year running for Academic Rep who is ready to fight for change. I will bridge the gap between student-staff communication, advocate for better assessment feedback, push for straightforward, clear assignments and, most importantly, ensure that students are the ones who sh ...
I’m Juan, a first-year Chemistry student, and I’m running to be your year representative! Our first year will lay the foundations for the next couple of years at Imperial, so I want to make sure everyone feels supported and heard. Keeping up with lectures, pre-reading and, eventually, lab work can get pretty hectic, especially when balancing it with hobbies and interests. From being introduced to Schr&ou ...
Hello Year 1 Chemists, My name is Ada and like many of you I’m sure, I am excited but also nervous to be a chemist at Imperial- so although we’re just discovering the course, I hope to play a role of contact and help between us and the department. I’m comfortable with communication, such as talking to faculty, so I’d be willing and happy to address any problem during this first year! It&rsqu ...
