The petition:
We the under signed, agree that the reduction in time for deadlines, is causing an extraordinary amount of unnecessary stress to the student body. We therefore formally request the 'immediate' return of original deadlines, in order to relive this unnecessary stress.
While we appreciate the idea of having extra time for dissertations and exam revision, in practicality this is not working. The stress in having between 4 and 7 pieces of work all due in by 17th of march, Will directly affect grades. Work will have to be rushed under extreme pressure and stress, therefore being of a substandard quality and directly affecting grades overall. We are sure that the university will agree that a drop in overall grades is not what we want or what the university wants.
We ask of you to please return the original deadlines for the benefit of the students and the university.
Yours sincerely,
The under signed

- The pressure on second years to get all assignments, to a high standard and all the reading with such short deadlines is unfair.
Having so many weeks less to do coursework put pressure on everyone, but even more pressure on people who have LSPs.
Being a combined honours I am particularly struggling with the deadlines of second year.
I thank you all for signing this petition, please copy and paste the link to all your friends in the university the more we get the more power we have to make changes. many thanks Craig Haywood
i agree with the petition as it is hard to manage all 4 pieces of work in under 2 months as it will definitely affect mine and others overall result.
Deadlines are all in March and need to be spread out
I agree with the above.

Literally drowning right now. Trying to do 5 essays at once is impossible if you actually want to get a decent mark. Please change this.
