Having a Course Rep means you will be able to say whatever is on your mind regarding the course. It might be how fantastic a module is, but it might also be that you find a lecture irrelevant and hard to follow. You can start the ball rolling by voting for one of the candidates!
Be the change you want to see

If you have a really strong opinion about your course, you want to make sure you’re voting, so you can tell your Course Rep what’s on your mind. Nothing will change if you don’t make it happen! And that all starts with a vote.

Voting literally takes minutes. All you need to do is have a quick look over who is standing, decide based on their manifestos and your conversations with them who you’re voting for, and vote! Done – easy and simple.

Making sure that you vote means that instead of sitting back and letting things happen, you’ll be able to engage directly with the course, and make huge changes happen.
You'll become a team

Rather than just being people on the same course, you’ll become a team, working together to create positive change. You can be a valuable team member by voting for your chosen candidate.
You're the most important part!

Without their course mates’ feedback, a Course Rep is useless. You are what keeps this system moving forward. Likewise, your vote is crucial to deciding who gets to represent you and your course mates.
