hen I started in Birmingham City University, I was very interested in representing my course and so I was selected amongst two others to be the Course Representative. As a Course Rep, I was the intermediary between the lectures and the students. It was my responsibility to address any problems the students had with the course before the lecturers and also to report back to the students whatever was decided upon by the lecturers. Also, during Open Days, it was my responsibility to show prospective students and parents around and introduce new students to the basics of the course; what it involved, what the benefits of studying Computer Games Technology and also showcasing what students had been involved in doing. As a result of my impressive performance in my first year, I was automatically selected to be Course Rep again in my second and third year. As expected, the role became more intense as the years went by. I became responsible for meeting with Head of Departments to discuss and find solutions as regards modules that were not very suitable for students. Being a Course Rep for three years has taught me how to solve problems, how to communicate with people and address issues objectively. It was not enough to just identify issues; it demanded a lot of responsibility as well. The experience also has helped me to be more accessible and approachable as an individual. Also, it has made me more open-minded as I have learnt accommodate the different views or perspectives of people.
