Hmm. If this forum is also viewed by lecturers from their respective colleges, and its students, maybe we should talk about something that is a bane to students, year in year out.

I know i know that every college needs to be competitive, and try to be ahead of making sure they get their students. But I think competitiveness has gone to a point, where the student actualy loses out. There are deliberate moves of making classes of one college, clash with anotha class of anotha college. Okay. Maybe its pure coincidence. Maybe its the way it is. Im sure that students can raise their hands, if they have missed one class before bcos of a clash. But Like I said, Maybe its pure coincidence.

One example is one college may purposely wait til maybe say one week or two weeks before the month of the IRC, eg May or November, just so that they can see what the other college is doing with their timetable, and then work around that. So its year in year out, these colleges, they hand out their IRC timetables fairly late. If you were a student, or even worse working, you need to make sure of your classes times, you need to get your days off for the IRC. Getting to know a timetable beforehand at a very early stage would help alot.

But then again. Once we get the timetable, its problem number one again, as some classes clash with anotha. Again, it might be purely coincidental.

Now Im not here tryna name and shame. Im just highlighting the problems faced by students every 6 months. I understand Competitiveness is a must to survive in this world. But to do it at the expense of us students, is almost unethical. Like I said, Im not here to name and shame. I Just hope that colleges out there would see that this has become a problem. And try to improve on that. As we have learnt we are always trying to improve on something through productive criticism. And i hope pple can take this constructively, and not personally.

Im sure there are students who share the same opinion? Feedbacks are welcomed. Maybe my argument is flawed. What are your experiences with clashes of timetables. And do you feel that the clashes are a toll on you?
