UCC Lecturers Asked To Stop Online Assessment Of Learners

Management of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has asked lecturers of the prestigious tertiary institution to stop all forms of online assessments. This is because these assessments would be done when academic activity resumes physically.

In a notice signed by the Director of Academic Affairs, Jeff Teye Onyame, lecturers were reminded of a decision taken earlier.

Part of the notice read:

“We wish to remind all teaching staff of the decision taken at the emergency meeting of the executive committee of the academic board held on 8th April 2020 that online academic work should be limited to lectures and tutorials. All practical sessions, assessments (Quizzes and assignments) and examinations are to be conducted on campus upon students’ return. I am to inform all concerned to comply with the decision of the executive committee of the academic board and that online assessment carried out will be non-scoring”.

Some tertiary institutions in the country have decided to conduct the end of semester exams online as they are poised in ending the academic year even as schools have been closed down due to the adverse effects of Coronavirus.

Owing to that, some lecturers have duly revised their examination grading system.
