Just to update I did start to talk about these issues - and yes people did agree with me. However of-course they do not want anyone to fail. The university do question why some people failed. But the fact some people failed means there has been an issue. Not always is a person being lazy. A guy like this just dropped out.
A few of us were so surprised that we got less than 40 percent or less for an assignment! Something has got to be questioned here.
On the course I am talking about, the preparation for assignments was virtually none existent. Now I think of it, this is more of the root problem.
