OAU : Irregularities marred Csc 221 CBT, as students expressed their displeasures

Irregularities marred Csc 221 CBT, as students expressed  their displeasures

By Almukhtaar

Some two hundred level students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife have expressed their displeasures over the way their computer based test was conducted in the early hours of Saturday.

For the first time, the Coordinator of CSs 221 introduces computer based test for the sophomore students of the school, though not all students in their second year are mandated to take the course, but a large percentage of them.

Following the time table released by the  host department, the computer based test was tailored to be done in batches at the school computer centre, between 7am - 2:30pm.

According to an eye witness who happened to be part of the students billed to do the test, he said, 'truth be told, those that were billed to write their test at 7am-8:30pm and the second batch didn't pass through the hell we are passing through, the problem started when those billed to do their test at 10am downward were ready to do their test, as those that fall within these categories were not permitted to go into the computer laboratory.

He stressed further that the Coordinators attributed their actions to the network glitches at the computer laboratory, despite the downpour, the students were not allowed to enter the venue corridor, and and a 'safe haven' was not provided for the students, as such, students were drenched.

Following this ugly trend, students expressed their displeasures and started "protest". two students allegedly fainted in the process (due to protracted delay) and were rushed down to the health centre.  Students tried their best to drawing the attention of the concerned persons, but nobody replied them, as alleged by a part2 student of philosophy who does not want his name on public glare.

One of the Coordinators later told the aggrieved students to channel their grievances through their Head of departments or their level advisers. The glitches experienced at the computer laboratory were later  "resolved," as students confirmed the late development at a "wee hours".
