Hello there!
This is a petition for the Barrister class to collect signatures from those who are of the opinion that our October 2020 examinations should continue as previously planned.
These signatures will be used as proof before the relevant administrators (in form of a letter enclosed in an email) to demonstrate our wish to return to the timetable and format of exams previously provided.
Thank you so much for your help!

The momentum behind this is undeniable. Administrators will have no choice but to acknowledge the pressure.

Having in person exams raises very many concerns from the student body such as how exams shall be administered, the lack of realistic choice in the consent form, the issue of standardization if persons with underlying medical conditions are examined differently than others and others raised by my colleagues
The immediate change of the exam dates is an inconvenience on many levels. For example for me on a personal level; 1. I had scheduled to do other exams on the dates given. 2. To access campus for the selected dates is a high expense especially because it is only for the exam period after which I’ll need to return home 3. My health has not been in the best place to allow for physical interactions
As an individual with asthma and frequent lung infections it's not only a health risk to me but to my 6 year old sister who has epilepsy. Doing the exams next time they are offered is not fair. I'm being pushed to put my health and that of my family at risk for no logical reason
I will be unable to physically sit for the exams as directed with the admin. I was , however , comfortable with the previous decision to do exams from home. This had created a legitimate expectation to the students that the admin would not change the examination timetable.
I believe that the physical exams are unfavourable to us as students and go abasing common sense. the teaching method has been changed i.e. online learning therefore it does not make to have the same exam method. Also, I think the possibility of physical exams ought to have been communicated to us early so we act accordingly. We as students of strathmore university who are adversely affected by this decision ask for it to be reviewed and rectified. Thanks
The exams being changed last minute is very inconsiderate because at the beginning of the semester it was communicated otherwise. The school should stick to their original means because it would inconvenience most if not all of us.
Change of the mode of exam administration will really be detrimental to most if not all of us. The same should have been communicated earlier.
