1) Graduation Certificates on the Same Day
Graduation is a momentous occasion, and students should be able to receive their certificates on the same day. The beauty of graduation lies in capturing memories—wearing the gown and holding the hard-earned certificate in hand. There is no justification for organizing a graduation ceremony without ensuring certificates are ready for collection.
2. Addressing the High Rate of Retakes
The number of students retaking subjects is alarming. What is the university doing to address this issue? Has it investigated the reasons behind the high failure rates? Are there adequate support measures in place for struggling students? Instead of merely requiring students to retake subjects—incurring additional financial costs—priority should be given to small group sessions and targeted academic support to help students grasp difficult concepts.
3. Improving Lecture Delivery and Understanding
How satisfied are students with the way lecturers deliver information? Do students understand the teaching methods used? The university must assess whether the current approaches are effective and, if necessary, implement changes to enhance learning.
4. Prioritizing Student Concerns and Feedback
What steps is the university taking to ensure student concerns and feedback are genuinely prioritized? How does it act on feedback to implement meaningful changes? A transparent system should be in place to track concerns and show students that their voices lead to real improvements.
5. Evaluating Teaching Methods for Consistently Failed Subjects
If students repeatedly fail particular subjects, has the university considered assessing the lecturers' teaching methods? Continuous poor performance may indicate a need for change in instructional approaches rather than placing sole responsibility on students (law students). A university committed to student success must ensure that teaching quality is consistently reviewed and improved.
