Students at American University Sharjah have been on a rollercoaster after rules to prevent plagiarism in the upcoming exams were announced, which student’s vehemently disagreed with.
Students took to Twitter to revolt against the guidelines, which included 1) all students will need to purchase a web-cam 2) if connection drops during the exam, students automatically get a 0 3) there is no back-tracking in the exams and more.

The world is falling apart outside. People are losing their loved ones to an epidemic. Half of the earth’s population is under lockdown. And AUS still manages to be our greatest source of anxiety and stress.#AUSharjahExams

The new exam measures have not been announced yet, however, the Dean of Engineering at the university took to Twitter to acknowledge that the issues raised by students have been registered and the University will sit down to re-look at the measures. The Dean has been commended by students for her extra efforts during this stressful time.
It’s worth noting any decision made going forward is in the best interest of both public health and the student’s safety.

There were too many messages to individually answer, so this video gave reassurance to student’s last night and a meeting early on Sunday morning will discuss new alternatives.
Great to see the University take on board student issues immediately, and look to offer a solution.
