Poor behaviour of lectures

I'm writing this review with a heavy heart and feel that the university lectures are failing their student. A lecture is someone to look up to and have respect for, but as the time goes on the lectures have more excuses for the poor management of exam than a 7 year old child.

There has been a lot of excuses over the past 3 months about exam in this second semester.

1. The exam was not loaded on the dashboard because the lecture decided not to inform all the student that the exam will not take place anymore on that date, his decision was made one day before the exam date.

2. The exam was not loaded on the dashboard because the lecture forgot about the exam, this was only confirmed after calling the lecture in the exam time slot and he ask student to communicate among them self that the exam is cancelled, he did not have the decency to inform the student himself.

3. The exam is loaded late, well this is interesting... student that attended the venue-based exam may not attend the exam late, if they do, they will NOT have the opportunity to write exams, BUT the lecture may load the exam 10 min late on the dashboard and the student does not even receive the time lost for their exam that was loaded late.

4. The exam is cancelled on a Friday afternoon after 18:00, this only after the students communicated with the lecture to confirm if the exam is still taking place on a Sunday, and the lecture did confirm this with all the student. Then after this communication, he rescheduled the exam date.

5. Now the exam is loaded on time, finally one out of the past 5 exams, and 40 min within the exam time, the lecture realizes the paper is a previous paper and the then only attempted to load the correct paper, but unfortunately, he only communicated this on the chat group.... and phones is not allowed during the exam... The list goes on, disappointment one after another.

Every time the exam changes and students have to attend the exam they have to book off from work for that time, this is part time studying which indicates that the student has other responsibilities outside of their studies. Informing the work one day before your exam that its cancelled is creating discomforted between collages, that is standing in for one another. Transport arrangements on this short notice can be expensive or eventually it is impossible for student to claim their study leave from work because there was no exam.

If this behaviour is acceptable for UNISA, I do not know what the future will hold for UNISA onwards.
