Hungry for Feedback is the SU’s annual campaign gathering student opinions on the feedback they receive from their departments. This year they will be focusing on the quality rather than the timeliness of the feedback.

The aim of the survey is to help the SU find out what the students believe is the most beneficial feedback and to recognise where they are particularly happy with the feedback provided. We will also be aiming to put together a “good feedback guidebook” that will be useful for students to know what they expect, postgraduates that teach for some extra guidance, and departments looking to improve their feedback quality.

has been credited in the oscar nominated, and Sundance Award winning, documentary "The Square" due to his kickstarter support for the documentary.

Directed by Jehane Noujaim (Control Room, Startup.com, Rafea: Solar Mama), the documentary looks at the Egyptian Revolution over a two and a half year period by giving an immersive and on the ground view of events. It transports the viewer into a deeply emotional dramaand personal stories behind the news. It is the inspirational story of young people claiming their rights, struggling through multiple forces, in the fight to create a society of conscience.
