UNIVERSITY STANDARDS
Let me just start by saying if you want to be taken serious you have to be seen to be serious. Now on this note I really think my University the University of Botswana being the only University of the country should really stop letting their students determine which "beat they dance to" in a manner of speaking. Students now are complaining that they are being given material fit only for an Oxford, Harvard graduate etc and they feel its not fair! Really now!? Sue me for making you competitive in the real market for jobs! And really if the University is going to say how high each time the students complain then I am afraid we will be leaving here with worthless degrees. I think the University needs to set its own standards of the quality and the complexity of the exams, tests they administer and if anyone cannot step up they should just ship out! Be aware that I am saying this as a student. We need to up our game if we want to compete with the outer world, next thing we complain we cant find jobs and we claim not to know why! Mr Magang did say not so long ago that we are not producing quality workers in our higher level education and I think this is precisely why! Caving in each time students say a test was not fair yet all the material they were tested on they were taught! I think there is a huge difference between a test not being fair and failing because of that or failing because you did not put in the effort or that despite the effort you just did not understand in which case then you need to rethink your course choices.
