Cancel assignments and/or exams for Sheffield students (Hallam & Uni of Sheffield)
Why this petition matters
Sheffield Hallam and Uni of Sheffield need to understand that no student is in their right head space right now, especially international students like myself who are under a great deal of stress dealing with being in this situation away from our homes and families, and the addition of assessments/exams is not helping our case. International students who have gone back to their countries are also still expected to continue even with the different time-zones, so i do not understand how this online system will work. Instead of easing our minds and focusing on our health, the universities are making things much harder on both staff AND students by forcing this online system and bombarding us with emails on alternatives. How can the universities not expect all student's grades to plummet?
I am asking both universities to please consider at least postponing assignments/exams until the outcome of this outbreak is clear.
