I’m Lani, a Biosciences Academic Rep. I work with course leaders and Department Officers to improve things like your course content, teaching, assessments, and materials - all based on what you and your coursemates tell me.

You Said
You told us that intended learning outcomes weren’t clear enough. Without knowing exactly what was expected of you, especially when it came to assessments and exams, revision felt confusing and overwhelming.
We Did
Lani worked with lecturers to improve how learning outcomes are shared across modules. She pushed for more specific guidance on what topics will be covered, what’s compulsory, and what you’re expected to know for assessments, to help you focus your revision and feel more in control.
What's Changing
You’ll now see clearer breakdowns in your module guides and lectures including what content is compulsory, which topics are likely to come up in assessments and which materials are for broader learning, but won’t be assessed.
What This Means For You
You’ll be able to revise with confidence, knowing where to focus your time and energy. Whether you're working on an assignment or prepping for an exam, you’ll have a better understanding of what’s expected and how to succeed.
What's Next
Lani’s continuing to gather feedback and working with the Guild and staff to keep pushing for changes that improve your course experience.

Every win shared here began with feedback from students like you — and every change reflects the impact you’ve made on campus, your course, and your community.
Working In Partnership
Thanks To You X Love Exeter
We’re working side-by-side with the University to make sure your voice leads to action. Together, we’ve already improved things that matter to you, and we’re not stopping here. There’s more to do, we’ll keep lobbying the University to make sure they keep listening.
