Class Venue Crisis

It was a total confusion today at 2 pm when the third yearmedia students and the second year students had a dispute over a class venue.

The two classes had confusion over the class venue. The third year students had been using the launch class since the semester started. The second year alleged that they were allocated the class but had not been holding it there because their lecturer Brian, had gone abroad for studies. The lecturer came back and was allocated a different class which they had been using. Today they were sitting for a CAT and they wanted a larger space to use for the CAT. The third year media students who were the first occupants claimed that the class was allocated to them and they won’t get out, “we can’t go out this is the class we have been using since the semester started”, said Mubaruq, a third year media student. It took the intervention of the lecturers to negotiate for the class allocation and later the second years were relocated to another class.

Venue confusion is a common crisis in the school of information science given the fact that the number of available classes cannot carry all the students fully. Under several circumstances class venues have been an issue and the end result is negotiation among the lectures. The feeling of superiority among the third years can be expressed by their desire to occupy any class they want. Up to when will this crisis end?
