ONLINE EXAMS WITH BOTH OBJECTIVE AND THEORY QUESTIONS SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN ONE HOUR
It is with the utmost respect that ask for you to consider our plight and address our issues.
A single hour is never enough, especially is a course like MassCommunication which requires a lot of detailed writing, to adequately answer three theory questions to the best of your ability. Not to mention the added burden of having to also take out time from that hour to also tackle an unstimulated number of objective questions as well.
What this would lead to is most students either not being fully answering all their questions or they only give answers in a shallow manner so as to preserve time which would reduce their marks and ultimately affect their grade.
What we are requesting is that students be given more time for the examinations, especially those involving theory questions. When conducting physical exams in school, the same amount of questions are awarded far more time because of what is involved in answering the questions. the same or even more consideration should be given to online examinations because of the technical factors involved and how they affect the speed of the student.
We are requesting for us to be provided with more time in the exam or for lecturers categorically specify on short answers for theory questions so as to not be penalised in the marking stage.
