PSYC 212 MODULE UNREASONABLY DIFFICULT

Comments

#3

Our paper is a set up for failure. The paper was not evenly spread through in accordance to the cognitive levels of difficulty. 70 % Of the paper cannot be Higher order thinking questions.

The work load is unreasonable. More than 50% of the class has failed the first exam opportunity and there are students who pass more difficult subjects than PSYC 212. The memo of the paper is based on 100% textbook wording and if answered in your own words no marks are given. This is unacceptable!!

Because we demand that the amount of work be reduced I mean if we failed to comprehend things for the first opp and you give us the same thing for the second opp

I'm signing because I am a third year student who failed PSYCH 212 last year and is taking it again and the amount of work we have to know and what is asked in the exams is unrealistic.

Especially the semester test and exam papers needs to be looked at. 2 Mark's for a multiple choice question is ridiculas.

It has come to my attention that many of students are unhappy with the marks they have received in the exam. If it is true that the Vaal Campus students received a scope, that was not available to the Potchefstroom students, I find it very unfair. I feel that something must be done regarding the marking of our papers.

I'm signing because I'm tired of studying my ass off and not being good enough

(Potch, 2019-07-01)

I am certain that there is an absurd amount of work to be learned, and to be told to learn up to 50 long questions, then not all questions in the exam paper are from those 50.

I feel that they are unreasonable about this module

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-01)

#33

I'm signing because this module is unreasonable and I'm very unhappy about the marking, lecturer and the scopes that were given to the other campuses.

(Potchestroom, 2019-07-01)

#37

My marks don't show that I have studied which I have. The amount of work is way too much for 7 long questions. How the paper gets marked is way too strict because the questions are vaguely questioned.

ek voel dit is onregverdig en onnodig dat die dosente van psyc 212 so moeilik merk en dat die meerderheid, insluitend myself, die module druip en dat daar niks aan die saak gedoen word om die slaagsyfer toe verhoog nie

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-01)

I agree with this petition, and I believe that this module is really unfair and unrealistic

(Johannesburg, 2019-07-01)

I want a fair chance

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#52

I'm unhappy about Psyc 212

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#54

I’d appreciate a scope or even just slight idea what might be important for this exam

(Rustenburg, 2019-07-02)

#57

Class are not presented learnsome enough
All different lectures is confusing
Most lectures did not put effort and only read slides

(Potcheefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#59

this is not fair

(potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#63

I am redoing this module to get better marks for honours, in which case I work extremely hard for high marks. But it is not possible to achieve high marks when the exams are unrealistically difficult. And it makes no sense that the lecturer explains how you must answer her questions AFTER the exam, this should be done during the semester.

Ek is n 3de jaar student wat hierdie vak vir die 2de keer het. Hoe is dit moontlik dat ek n onderskeiding in my 3de jaar sielkunde kan kry maar hierdie vak heeltyd dop. Dis belaglik en iewers moet die dosente besef dat daar n groot probleem is en iets daaraan begin doen

(Potchstroom, 2019-07-02)

#67

Ek teken want ek voel dit is onmoontlik dat ons so moet sukkel en dat ons regtig geen hulp van ons dosente af kry. Ni dit voel asof hulle vir ons sit en kyk hoe ons sukkel en niks doen om ons te help nie

(Nelspruit, 2019-07-02)

I'm signing because I feel this could be a year module with the work split into two semesters. Also the scope could we narrowed down a lot so we know what to focus on.

(Sasolburg, 2019-07-02)

I need to get through this module to geg my grade.

(Johannesbutg, 2019-07-02)

#82

I'm very upset and this is my 1st time I'm writing 2nd opportunity. Bare in mind I wrote 2 modules on the same day. One at 9h and Psyc 212 at 14h00. I believe if the work was less i would've passed.

I sighed this petition because I am not happy with my mark and the amount of work he have to study

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#89

Lack of management and tests in the module

(Jhb, 2019-07-02)

#90

I feel like we should get a better scope on what to study for the second opportunity exam so people can focus on what is necessary to pass as there are far too many people that failed the first exam

(Johannesburg, 2019-07-02)

#91

Im signing this because of my dissatisfaction with the bacon, egg and cheese prices

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#94

I'm signing this because I feel it's unfair to us at NWU to get no scope and all the amount of work we must study with no tips to exam where vaal got a scope with exactly what they must study.

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#95

I am joining this petition because the education system of potchefstroom are failing

(Pretoria, 2019-07-02)

I had this module last year as well and and so many students had to take the second exam due to failing the 1st one. This year even more students failed, which just doesn’t make any sense
The amount of work to be studied is ridiculous. You cannot know 49 long questions by hand and even if you succeed to know 42 and they don’t ask any of those you still lose 70% of your marks. There’s more than 1000 students who needs to retake their exam and most of them like me has studied for this test. The Vaal campus students have admitted to obtain a more in-depth scope of what to study for the 1st exam which is not fair towards the students of the NWU.

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#101

I’m signing because it doesn’t seem as if the lecturers want to help the students that are struggling and it’s unfair that all the NWU students doesn’t get treated equally -e.g the Vaal and Mafikeng Campuses had smaller scopes that showed them exactly what to learn.

(Pretoria, 2019-07-02)

#102

Why can't we get a clearer scope or better guidelines to study

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#108

I'm signing this petition because the work was to much and difficult to study. We did not receive a scope like the Vaal campus and that's not fair. The work is too much and difficult too learn all of that that for only 7 possible long questions.

Ek, en baie van my mede studente het n groot probleem met die module juis omdat die module my sleep is van laasjaar.
My probleem is dat ek al my 3de jaars vakke met al my sielkundes deurkom, maar die vak moet ek weereens her.
Ek was vandag my dosent, en alhoewel sy gaaf was en saam my deur my antwoordstel gegaan het, was daar by een van my vrae gesê 'my antwoord is reg, en kan gebruik word, maar dis nie hoe dit in die boek staan nie so ons gaan dit nie reg merk nie', ek voel ek verstaan my werk op n baie ander manier as "presies" soos wat die boek sê... So as my verduideliking reg is, dan moet dit reg gemerk word. Ons as studente het 5 of meer (ek 6) modules, om als presies te leer is onmoontlik. Daar was 49 langvrae gegee vir ons wat ons moet self uitwerk en net 7 word gevra, dan word dit van ons verwag, dis bietjie baie onredelik.

Ek het my multikeuse gaan uitwerk in die boek wat beteken ek moet 6 vrae reg hê uit 15, dis 12 punte (wat my kan deur sit) vandag was daar gesê ek het net 2 reg wat net 4 punte is... Ek wil asb vra dat daar opgevolg moet word en die memos hersien moet word met die multikeuse kaarte van die studente en die antwoord stelle... Dis onmoontlik dat ons so baie kan wees wat die modulle jaar na jaar na jaar moet her en sleep wat baie van ons se grade gaan kos.

hoeveel studente is daar nie wat n laag langer moet swot en hulle kom moet breek oor een module nie.
dis onregverdig dat die vraestelle so streng gemerk word en dat daar gese word dat jy nie punte kry omdat dit nie presies so in die boek staan nie

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#111

Im signing this petition because we need to see change on how we are being addressed and not giving enough time to study plus the whole experience is not nice of not givin clear scope

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#113

I'm generally not happy

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#114

I find it odd that as a 3rd year I am able to pass the 3rd year psyc modules but am repeating psyc 212 and writing second opp for it again

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#115

I need to graduate I can't be struggling with one module for 2 years... I can't be the problem because when I study this module I give it my all.

I'm signing this petitions because I'm not happy with the amount of work we have to study

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#124

I'm unhappy because of the load of work in short time period when we have other modules to study for too.

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-02)

#126

I am signing because I agree with the above said petition since I am a Psyc 212 student aswell !

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-03)

#127

Ambiguity of the module expectations in comparison to relative modules

(Potchefstroom, 2019-07-03)

#128

I sign this petition because I feel that the work we studied was too much and too little was asked some student were writing 2 papers that day and to be fair with psyc 212 the odds were against us from the beginning because the work load is just too much
