The Issue

We are writing to express our deep concern and request a change regarding the assignment of Dr. Demba, PhD, as the lecturer for Level 200 MTH202. While we hold immense respect for Dr. Demba’s qualifications and contributions, we strongly believe that the circumstances surrounding this decision are not in the best interest of students.

Firstly, Dr. Demba is an extremely qualified scholar with a focus on advanced mathematical theories, which suits higher levels of academia, not the crucial foundational courses such as MTH202. This course is pivotal for the foundational understanding of critical mathematical concepts essential for our academic advancement. Therefore, it's crucial to have an instructor who specializes and excels in teaching at this level; someone who can communicate complex ideas in a simplified manner, empathetic to the learning pace of students transitioning into more advanced fields of study.

Moreover, feedback from student evaluations in previous sessions shed light on the difficulties faced under Dr. Demba’s instruction style for foundational courses. A report from the department shows that a significant number of students have struggled with the pedagogical approach that may not align with the learning needs of Level 200 students. This results in students feeling overwhelmed and underprepared for subsequent courses, impacting their academic performance negatively.

In light of these issues, we propose that anyone with proven teaching excellence and experience in instructing lower-level courses be considered for this crucial role. This change not only aligns the course demands with teaching styles but also enhances the overall learning experience of students, fostering an environment conducive to intellectual growth and understanding.

By signing this petition, you are advocating for a decision that supports more effective and impactful teaching at the foundational course level, ensuring that students have the needed tools and support to succeed. Ensure our voices are heard and education standards are maintained for the benefit of all students. Please sign and share our petition to bring about the necessary change.
