~ 1ST DAY OF EXAM!!!

Exams have finally started....Had my first paper today! How was it??? Well, it was supposed to be very good, except that there were a lot of mistakes in the typing or will I say the setting of the questions. Can't really tell who made the mistake (whether lecturer or typist).... Lecturer didn't come to make the necessary corrections on the questions until over an hour into the exam...probably that was when he was called by the invigilator...can't really tell....

Almost everyone was freaked out coz lecturer's presence didn't make any much difference. It only made Us get angrier at the end of the day. After the exam, there was a suggestion that everyone in class should write to the Dean of Faculty, reporting the case of the exam papers to him. So many reasons why it was right to do so:

1. The questions didn't seem like they were proof-read before they were printed.

2. When he was called to come and make corrections on the questions, he did it specifically for those who called him to their side, rather than for the whole class to hear. With this, those who didn't get the opportunity to call him to their side ended up answering the questions using the values(supposedly wrong) they saw on the paper....

3. The mistakes in the questions reminded us of how disorganized this lecturer had been throughout the semester...never giving us lecture notes that were well-structured, Coursework had a lot of formatting errors, and he even had to modify one of them, and extend deadline coz of modification.

4. We were not given the opportunity to evaluate lecturers at the end of the semester....rather we were asked to evaluate the module...Was this what we needed to do??....NO! Not at all...I mean who gives a damn about the module....It's the lecturer that makes the module what it is for the students...the impression comes from the efficiency or will I say competency of the lecturer.

Well, what did I do about it? I felt it would be better I send a mail to the lecturer instead, and CC Dean of Faculty. Better that way, so it doesn't feel like we are blackmailing him, and also, so that the Dean will be aware of the situation at hand....

Hmmm....I'm waiting for a response from him..Hopefully he'll put the mistakes made in the questions into consideration when marking the scripts, else we stand chances of losing a lot of marks.... Well..., the rest is in God's hands!!!

It is well!!!
