More evidence of incompetency

I am once again writing a review that encompasses the incompetency of Varsity College. After forcing students who have not written on-campus, closed-book written exams for the entirety of their degree, VC remains silent on details of the exams. First we were promised a brief for what to study but the "brief" that came simply told us the style of questions that will be asked and a mock exam was released but we were denied a memo, leaving students to not be certain about whether their responses are suitable or detailed enough.

Aside from this, VC is leaving students in the dark about logistics relating to the exams. Students have not been informed where on campus they are writing even though the exam is in 4 days. Some students have been granted a concession to write at home with a video invigilator but no details have been shared about what programme is required for the video or how we will access the paper. One student requested the information and was informed that "it will be communicated". When will it be communicated? The day of the exam? How are we supposed to ensure we are prepared if we do not know in advance? For example, if a printer is required, when will we receive the paper to print it or will the printing time come out of the 2 hours allocated for the exam? What happens if there is loadshedding and the printer does not work. I am aware that a stable internet connection and scanner are required which I have ensured are available but if there is loadshedding, my printer will not work and I have not been informed if a printer is needed or not.

In short, DO NOT STUDY WITH VC! You will regret it.
