Despite the recent expansion of the Makerere University Main Library, Students, still fail to get places where they can read for their end of semester examinations.

Stranded students now opt to read from the Freedom Square, as a new reading place because they lack reading places in the Main Library.

This has been attributed to the growing student population in the university.

Moses Balok, the President of the School of Languages, Literature and Communication (SLLC), is among Second Year journalism students who say setting deadlines for the News Writing course is unnecessary.

Tutors for News Reporting, Writing and Production I (JCO 2103) have set November 30 as deadline for receiving stories from students. The course is assessed progressively and each student is expected to publish a minimum of eight stories on an online news platform set up by the Department of Journalism and Communication.

There is pressure among the Second Year journalism students following the display of ‘provisional’ results for the News Reporting, Writing and Production course unit.

The results that were displayed on 22nd November jolted students into action as many were yet to make the pass mark just two weeks to the end of the semester.
