Your Say Check out what other reps are saying about their experiences and share your stories with us by getting in touch… “An achievement I am particularly pleased with is implementing discussion boards with course lecturers on Blackboard. The public forums meant all students on the course were able to benefit from the lecturers' answers, even during holidays, and lecturers were saved from having to answer the same questions several times in emails. Throughout the year, I have felt myself developing both personally and professionally. From participating in, and chairing meetings, to communicating with fellow students in a reasoned and polite manner when asking for feedback, my role of Academic Rep has allowed me to grow as a person and provide many skills which will enhance my CV. I have learnt how to develop a reasoned argument for something we as students feel needs changing and to deliver it in a sympathetic way, as well as being reasonable and empathetic in considering others' points of view.” Anonymous response from the 2019 Annual Impact Survey
