May 2012- Marketing Examination timetable.


 As everyone is well aware the timetabling this year has been  extremely  congested , for Marketing BAhons it has been six exams in eight days, and Business Studies and Marketing BAhons had six exams in ten days!

We need to raise issues which we have with this timetabling, so if people have been ill or caused unnecessary stress please can you comment saying so, this way we can use it to our advantage when confronting the university with it! 


Also any suggested layouts would be a good start as it has to be a constructive argument which the university can help us with!


Jenny Lloyd stated that students need to raise the question directly apparently, she also mentioned last years timetable being  extremely  congested as well! So This petition is realistically for those staying on next year but for those on placement as well!


Cheers

I have been reading through the comments and the stories about the toll this schedule is taking on your health are heartbreaking. I am currently organizing these individual experiences into a formal document to present to the department because they need to see the human impact behind these exam blocks.

Seeing this level of support confirms that my own exhaustion during these exams was not just in my head. Dealing with six tests in eight days broke me, so knowing others felt the same weight makes me ready to take our concerns directly to the administration.
