Zihan Yin
Medicine (UG): Medical Biosciences - Year Two Academic Representative
Hi guys, I'm Han! You might know me as your Y1 Academic Rep! I'm running again because I loved working with you, and improving BMB.
Last year, I didn't just raise concerns, I actively tracked them through until something changed:
- Campaigned for review of CBI’s difficult tAPPs, securing a slower pace during tAPP explanations → less exam anxiety, better understanding
- Advocated for better Lab Pod GTA training → no more conflicting instructions mid-labs
- Drove earlier LP1 feedback, securing checkpoint and check-sheet reviews ahead of Term 3 → you know where you stand before it’s too late to fix
- Pushing for INTS consolidation session to be exam-question focused, not just recall → sessions that actually prepare you for the exam you’ll sit
So what does another year of me get you?
- Feedback acted on fast. I drove survey response rates as high as 100 students; I’ll keep that engagement up and push module leads to respond and follow through consistently.
- A rep who shows up. I’ll keep building on the relationships I’ve built with faculty, so your voice carries weight.
- Real support for the hardest year. Y2 brings GEN, LP2 and a heavier lab load just as the course gets harder. I’ll push for clearer guidance and better pacing on the modules students flag as toughest.
If you want a rep with a real track record and real passion for improving our BMB experience...
Vote for Han :)
