Deiseb a wrthodwyd Stop Cardiff University scaling down students grades . We want the grades we earned and deserve!!!

Cardiff University has scaled down grades one day before final transcripts were to be released due to the number of students who received a first-class grade. They claim this is due to the lack of exams.

Pandemic restrictions meant adapted final assessments were created (to replace exams) which students would complete at home using external resources. The university now deems this as an advantage.

A reduction (1-3%)has been applied to entire modules, (not just exam replacement)

Rhagor o fanylion

C.U states that scaling should not be carried out on cohorts less then 15 people ( Chinese, Italian and Portuguese meet this criteria)

- paid full £9,000 tuition, recieved reduced contact hours (from 3 to 2)

- worked with limited resources e.g limited/no access to Library.

- reduced help/ support for disabled students - impacted due to limited contact hours/ changes to learning style/ recommendations

- limited help for increased number of students with mental health issues

- some missed important year abroad and finished degree without opportunity to improve language skills

- students in different time zones had to attend virtual lectures following GMT hours

- working in environments not fit for study

- changes to exams making students adapt last minute to different content and assignments (then later being penalised for this)

- feedback and grades being given back late

- students where penalised for not attending in person lessons as online lessons were limited

Pam gwrthodwyd y ddeiseb hon?

Mae’n ymwneud â rhywbeth nad yw’r Senedd na Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdano.

Mae’n gofyn i’r Senedd wneud rhywbeth na all ei wneud.

Mae prifysgolion i raddau helaeth yn sefydliadau ymreolaethol. Mae Ddeddf Addysg Bellach ac Uwch 1992 yn nodi mai mater i’r sefydliad yw penderfynu ar yr asesiadau sy’n addas ar gyfer unrhyw ddyfarniadau a roddir.

Felly, ni all Gweinidogion Cymru osod amodau ar sut y mae prifysgol yn gweinyddu ei hasesiadau a’i harholiadau. O ganlyniad, nid yw’n bosibl i’r Senedd gymryd y camau y mae eich deiseb yn galw amdanynt.

Dim ond deisebau nad ydynt yn bodloni’r safonau ar gyfer deisebau y byddwn yn eu gwrthod

Mae deisebau a wrthodwyd yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y cawsant eu cyflwyno ynddi
