Rydym am sicrhau ddyddiau Mercher rhydd#MercherRhydd
Cred Undeb Myfyrwyr Prifysgol Aberystwyth
y dylai Prifysgol Aberystwyth ddangos eu hymrwymiad
i sicrhau bod dydd Mercher yn rhydd
trwy arwyddo’r addewid sydd yn cael ei gynnig gennym.
Yr Addewid a gynhigir
Ar ran myfyrwyr Prifysgol Aberystwyth a darpar myfyrwyr mae Undeb Myfyrwyr Prifysgol Aberystwyth yn gofyn i Is-ganghellor Prifysgol Aberystwyth, April McMahon, Uwch dîm rheoli Prifysgol Aberystwyth a phenaethiaid Adrannau Academaidd Prifysgol Aberystwyth i addo’r canlynol:
- I orffen darlithoedd am 12.00pm bob dydd Mercher yn ystod y tymor.
- I wahardd darlithoedd, sesiynau yn y labordy, cyfarfodydd tiwtor a seminarau ac unrhyw ddosbarthiadau eraill rhag cael eu hamserlenni ar brynhawniau dydd Mercher (ar ôl 12.00pm).
- I weithio gyda UMAber a
gweithio tuag at ryddhau'r amserlen ar ddydd Mercher.

Students need time to develop their extra-curricular activities and many have caring work responsibilities on weekends; we need Wednesdays freed up!
Yn sicr angen sicrhau hyn, mae dyddiau mercher a phrynhawniau Mercher yn enwedig yn holl bwysig i sicrhau bod myfyrwyr yn gallu manteisio ar weithgareddau allgyrsiol fydd yn gosod llwybr cadarn iddynt i gyrraedd eu llawn botensial
I can understand other universities having morning lectures as they are able to travel shorter distances to the other unis as they are closer, but Aberystwyth is so far from any other university to compete that we need the whole day off to travel anywhere.
Really tough when you have to choose between your team and you academic performance. The Uni often assures prospective students that they can have Wednesday afternoon to play sport. Uni should honour that prospectus!
Not just for those who do sports with a team, Wednesday afternoons would be a great time for people to exercise individually or have time off the timetable to catch up with work/deadlines. It'd be great to have this in line with other universities.
The uni is known for its Sports so help us keep it as such
A bit of free time on a Wednesday would be great, it would really give me some extra time to either do society stuff or work on my diss

With the current economic climate leaving many Graduates struggling to find work, employability is a key consideration for all involved in the Student movement. A Degree alone does not make someone employable, but extra-curricular activities such as Sport and Society involvement does.
