Hey, I love uni and my course, but there's been one module that's been an absolute shambles...
Basically, 25% of this module was group work, a mock parliament type thing.
I was in the group that was the parliament, and our group had to do about 5x more work (literally) than the other 8 or 9 groups.
We had to submit two reports ( in total three times the word length of the other groups) as supposed to 1 for the other groups. Also, we only had 4 days to submit our last report, right in the middle of other exams and deadlines, compared to the two months the other groups had, with their deadline well before exams! There were really no surprises our grade was comparatively bad! Alongside this, we had to be present 9-5 for the mock parliament, whereas all other groups had to be present for 1 hour each, which was, again, so annoying in the middle of deadlines and exams.
So basically, can I file a complaint against the uni for not been on a level playing field with other students on the same course in terms of workload, or will it just be laughed off?? My friends in the group are happy to go along with me and support this! Surely in group work, all groups on the module have to have an equal task??
Thanks!!
