I'm Running in the Heriot-Watt University Student Union Elections 2012, for the positions of:

- Ordinary Executive
- NUS UK Delegate
- NUS Scotland Delegate

My Pledges

• Vision
• The Current Service is Poor, crashes all the time, and not really fit for purpose.

• I will work with the university to fix this, and survey you to find out exactly what you expect of vision.
• Communication
• Do you feel like you know whats going on at Heriot Watt? Do you even know where to look?

• I will lobby to make Vision the student portal, where you can find everything out. Vision should be the centre of your university life.
• Wi-Fi/IT Services
• I am running for the Education remit, however Wi-Fi and IT have become essential to learning. Campuses IT systems are at breaking point, and we should have better.

• I will make it easier for you to report dead-spots, and work with the university to better prioritise the work that is done to improve service.
• Timetabling
• We've all had it. 1 hour of lecture time in the middle of the day, 4 hours without a break, lectures running to 6:15, or running into Wednesday afternoon when you're meant to be playing sport.

• I want to work towards ensuring timetables are sensible, allow you to play sport, and aid learning by giving you sensible breaks. 
• "Bad" Modules
• Every semester you fill out a module feedback survey. Every semester you never hear anything again. Even your class reps don't hear.

• This is wrong, this information should be shared, and School Officers and Class reps should be able to use it in the same way they use the National Student Survey - to find problems, and work with staff to find solutions.
