What influenced your decision to be a part of this project the most?
I was excited about the chance to develop a more efficient and streamlined approach to Timetabling. Having been with the University since 2013, I am aware of the challenges that have accompanied this process each year. I hope that by being part of this team we can create a solution that helps everyone!
What are you most looking forward to tackling during this project?
I'm interested in how the project evolves as a whole as there are many frustrating areas of Timetabling. However, I like a challenge and I'm looking forward to tackling the consolidation of timetabling data from Schools in order to establish a more efficient and user-friendly solution.
What do you think will be the biggest challenges in this project?
As administrators in the Schools, one of our main challenges is obtaining buy-in from our academic colleagues as deadlines surrounding the Timetabling process often appear to be arbitrary to them. I think that this will be the biggest challenge in this project too - we need to be clear of why we're doing what we're doing and the benefits that will come.
