PYC4810 UNISA Student Petition

The time that was given was not enough

I also think that we can submit a portfolio as an exam for pyc4810

Unfair exam

This exam was unfair as well as submission problem

We wasted so much time on referencing only to be informed afterwards that it didn't matter when it explicitly stated in the exam that we need to reference. One source can be 1 or 20 pages so multiply that by 15,in a space of 3 hrs. Secondly was the module leader pressuring us to submit and chopping and changing submission time, contrary to the guidelines that were given to us, which stated that we have exactly 60 minutes to submit after examination time.Added to that were glitches of the system resulting in some of us unable to submit. May we be given another examination.

I came back from a tooth extraction to the shock of my life. An email from the lecturer stating that aerogatat will not be accepted. I just wrote to submit in fear of this, I know that with this paper I have no chance of making it through

Im very disappointed at the fact that there was no engagement from the module leaders with us during the year and then to receive an exam which definitely required assistance in preparing for.

There was a question that didn't want answers from the textbook however prior to the exam we were told to study the whole book book. What's the use of the prescribed textbook then if we can't use it?!

Second chance to rewrite the exam

I'm partitioning hear with a great heavy heart. We would like to be given a second chance to rewrite pyc 4810 exam paper after traumatic experience we were writing this paper.

The exam was unfair and can we be given an opportunity to do an assignment that will replace the exam.

The question paper was just unfair,the wording and English used very poor. I doubt if the paper was moderated. We ask nicely that the lecturers be fair

I am so hurt. The exam was handled so poorly. The lecturer ket changing the time for submissions during exam time and that is not allowed. Some of us panicked and submitted poorly to written work because the lecturer changed the time for submissions during an exam. We were told to focus on the textbooks and the prescribed articles but none of that were relevant due to the way the exam was as structured. We were expected to cite external sources throughout the exam which then resulted in so much time being wasted, and as a result deterred is from answering all the questions. After wasting time looking for sources, the lecturer sent another email stating that sources are no longer exam, after we’ve wasted so much time. All of this is happening during an exam. The confusion and frustration was too much, we ended writing the exam in panic and frustration. Its honestly impossible to cite 15-20 sources in a time-limited exam, as that is equivalent to writing an assignment which on its own takes almost two- three weeks, but then we were expected to do that in Three hours. We require another exam that is Fair and Just as these results are important for our job applications and Masters entry.

Complete bull

The exam was tremendously unfair

We demand the second paper as an assignment in this exam period.

This was unfairly moderated

The time allocation was not adequate as a result many students fail to submit in time

I studied so hard for this exam and went through the prescribed book. But to my surprise, I was asked to cite and reference an exam paper. I have never encountered anything like that. I wasted so much time looking for different sources and meanwhile my time of typing was wasted. I did not understand question 2 and question 4. And how was I suppose to look for chapters relevant to the content required on the questions? Why wasn't a specific chapter to focus on for answering stated? I really think the paper was unfair and impossible to complete.

We really would like to rewrite the exam or have the exam as our assignment and be given time to complete it
