Following the recent University wide change in format to the online examinations which prohibits the ability to "jump" between questions- this petition is to extend the time limit for the upcoming HL5701 Anatomy Exam.
The current time limit of 20 minutes was implemented to discourage any misconduct and is already extremely tight. The function of jumping between questions allowed students to prioritise knowledge and efficiently use the very limited time we have to complete the exam. Removing this function also removes the ability for students to check their answers at the end of the exam and correct small errors that are inevitable in such a pressured exam.
We acknowledge it is not possible to change a university wide policy however added time in this circumstance seems like a fair solution. Please sign this petition in favour of increasing the time limit.

The volume of support has reached a level that allows me to formally request a meeting with the department head. I am currently drafting a letter detailing the specific logistical constraints of the new exam format to present during that discussion.

20 mins is honestly impossible with this new format. Really stressful for anatomy.
This module is hard enough as it is. Getting rid of the jump option makes it so much harder to manage the time properly.
Agree with the statement, these changes add another layer of difficulty to an already challenging exam
20min with jumping questions is really tight already. Hopefully, it can extend to 30 min for without jumping questions.
The time limit of 20 minutes is already very tight, and was implemented to stop us cheating in the first place. It was also put in place at a time when we could prioritise our answers. This was incredibly useful so we were able to tackle the exam in the most time efficient manner to maximise our marks. By taking this away it is now a much harder exam. I know you don’t have the power to reverse a University wise policy but please can you adjust the time limit by a few minutes to account for this change. I just know that I personally really utilise those last couple of minutes to check and correct answers and small mistakes that we inevitably make under the pressure of exams
Same for BSc please!
This is already the hardest exam by far - this just makes it so much worse!

PLEASE extend it. We basically have no time to think or go back and fix silly mistakes.
