Dear sir,

Have written here now 4 times,expressing my frustration am going through.i humbly request Maseno to listen because there is power in listening.

1.Embrace communication and feedback from students who are your key stakeholder.

2 Do not frustrate student during thesis period by building barriers of mistrust

3.Share results slips immediately to all students

NB;Kindly follow up my case here.I registered in 2013,I completed my course work in 2015,I did my 1st presentation and defence in 2014 and 2nd in 2015.I completed all correction required from me in 2015,I submitted my proposal for approval to sgs in 2015 it got lost and i was told to redo,i did it again and submitted now 2 times,now my current proposal has been pending and in the waiting list ready for discussion for the last 3 week reason there is no representative from public health.

It is good to note am a student not employee of Maseno university who is there to work and earn salary.Student come to a programme to achieve certain career aspiration either short term of long term.

The question is;How long should a postgraduate take to complete course work and what are the lead time for proposal and thesis process?

I regret that is social injustice and professional sabotage.you are killing career aspiration and growth for some student.

 

regards

Dear RM&E Coordinator,

My frustrations are similar to Kemboi's. My Research proposal has been lying at the Graduate school for nearly two months after submission of a revised proposal. Previously it has been there for more than 3 months. When I enquired why it has not been reviewed in the last SGS meeting, I was told our school was not represented and therefore my proposal could not be reviewed. At this rate there is no hope of completing our studies, despite the many enquiries your department keep asking students on areas they can be supported and the progress reports students are required to fill every now and then. These efforts just demonstrate that we are being given lip service by the University and there is no deliberate intention to effectively support e-learning post graduate students to complete their studies.

Thank you,

Ayub
