- SAN3601 students don’t consistently receive the marks and feedback throughout the academic year, the lecturer needs to rush to mark all the answer scripts

- The biggest problem is that the marker doesn’t mark with the fault and only marks the final answer as seen on the memo. The values of the final answers on the memo are marked and not the understanding of the solution.

- There are faults in the memo and when the faults are addressed no action is taken by the lecturer to correct the problem to do a remark.

- The memo is also not published when the results are released, we are waiting too long to receive feedback. The memo acts as a guideline that directs us if the way we are learning and understanding the work we wrote about is correct (the only way we will know if we are studying and understanding the subject is if we get our results back in a realistic time frame)  

Most of the SANS3601 class of 2021 are beyond frustrated and hopeless with the manner in which our requests and complaints are just brushed off. UNISA's Civil Engineering department is not doing its job and not considering the consequence it has on its students. 

Most of the UNISA students work full time and our employers are getting frustrated with us as individuals because UNISA is incapable of sticking to the academic guidelines. The study leave per year is beyond what a standard employment contract will allow, this results that we as employees need to request unpaid days to study and to write tests because UNISA changes and brings in additional test days. UNISA's Civil Engineering department is abusing its position of power for the final year students of SAN3601.
