Teachers at the University of Turbat have been assigning extra coursework during the final exam week
TURBAT: It is unfortunate that students are burdened with extra workload during the exam week. Teachers at the University of Turbat have been assigning extra coursework during the final exam week. Due to this, students, especially those belonging to the Education and BBA departments, are under undue pressure, as they have been given four assignments during this time period, and the teachers would deduct marks from their final grade if they fail to submit their work. This practice is often seen in universities across the country, and is a major reason why students these days are so stressed and burnt out. The Education Ministry and universities should revise their policies and restrict the exam week for just examinations. The other coursework should be equally distributed throughout the semester, in order to facilitate the students and give them ample time to work on each graded component.
