Primary Persona: Sue Alley

Secondary Persona: Rajiv Kapoor Rajiv Kapoor Third Year Biology Student 22 years old Originally from Chennai, India Working Towards final exams Works hard, but could do more “ Yeah, I can’t come out tonight. Population Genetics revision to do!” Background Information Rajiv came to the UK three years ago to study Biology at a major UK university. In London. Just off Russell Square. Despite being pressured to take Biology by his parents (Rajiv preferred Psychology), Rajiv enjoys his course. However, he doesn’t work as hard as he could, with the social aspects of student life occasionally distracting him - a night out here and there and a morning or so to recover. Nevertheless, Rajiv is on course for a good 2:1, although he is no longer motivated by the hope of getting a 1:1. Rajiv is thus currently preparing for his final exams. Key Goals 2:1 for his degree; work hard on his final 4 exams. create and stick to a revision plan. motivate himself to focus on the course, not on socialising. Revision and Exams Rajiv prefers his information to be broken down into a coherent, logical structure, loathing the comparative chaos of mind-maps. To this end, his notes reduced into structured as itemised lists of discrete (but grouped) facts, as opposed to organised in more visual diagrams. Rajiv has badgered his lecturers for information on the content of the exam, and, now having a good idea of the exam content, will structure and scope his revision appropriately. Rajiv rehearses these lists repeatedly, monitoring his progress and ensuring that he is covering the content in good time. Whilst Rajiv doesn’t spend all of his time revising before the test (occasionally meeting friends) he does work for many hours before the exam, and feels confident that he will do well.
