 While I do agree that they tried hard to save the semester, some of their solutions weren't ideal. For instance in some modules where they suggested that if you don't have a laptop to work on, find a friend that has one and work on their machine. Now we all know this is not a good solution as that will limit any individuals work time and no physical contact time was made for students and tutors, just online communication, which can be very limiting when it comes to such practical modules. I believe other faculties understood the difficulties that students went through that's why they made provision for this and mind you that some of these faculties use less campus resources compared to us.

 If you're referring to 284 (Or any other module for that matter), the purple labs in the Informatorium had open access for any students registered for a COS module. Although access to campus was said to be regulated, it was easy to get in and go work in the purple labs.

My point is, no solutions would be ideal in such circumstances, but many students chose to "go on holiday" in this time rather than apply themselves and now they want to complain about not getting exam entrance (Which the majority would not have gotten even if there were classes).
