college not providing tutor for course
A Friend of mine is studying media at college, the course is 12 modules
long however the college have not always provided a tutor for this course
and have not had a tutor with the correct qualifications.This has led to
only 3 modules being taught and there should have been 12. The
college have told them that no one will be able to pass the course unless
the 12 modules have been complete and that they apologise for the lack of
staff able to teach the course. They now however have employed a media teacher, and have told the students that in order to pass they need to attend college for during the summer holidays to complete the remaining 9 modules. Is this correct it seems a bit unfair and should the students contact the education authority?
The school is probably bound to an accrediting agency or board,
who decides (1) what qualifications a professor needs to teach a course, &
(2) what courses students must take before being recommended for
graduation. If this is the case, the school has no choice: they couldn't
offer the classes because they had no one qualified to teach them, & they
can not give degrees to students who took only 25% of the program is
requirements. Unfortunately they were handicapped by not being able to find a qualified instructor. When viewed in this larger picture, you have to agree it is not the school is fault they they couldn't offer the courses. They don't control the market conditions that provide (or don't provide, as the case may be) qualified employees. The result is the students must take what is offered to them or transfer to another program. It sucks, but scheduling & employment problems are a reality of the university system. However, the school should also recognize the inconvenience to their students & make some sort of concession, like a tuition reduction or a better schedule than cramming 75% of the requirements in a short summer session. (Imagine how quickly they're going to speed through all that material!)
I most certainly would meet with the dean of students to get
the matter resolved. All the students if possible should arrange a general
meeting with the dean AND the new media teacher.. .Maybe there is another
way to get all the coursework without having to take summer cources..
Good luck
