There seems to be little or no flexbility for committed students to submit their work if they cannot do so in person.
Really? Not the case at our place. I doubt if this is actually the case anywhere; back in the day, I submitted work by posting it through a slot in a locked filing cabinet. If I were a student now, I'd most likely be submitting electronically.
Having said that, some of the students seem to come into lectures extremely late and just seem to walk in and out as they please.
Again, only very rarely at our place.
It makes me wonder if we haven't pushed too many people into the University route who may not be best suited to it.This makes me wonder how much time and money have been spent trying to create courses and attract people who may be better served by something more vocational.
Yes, undoubtedly. The removal of the binary divide between universities and polytechnics did both sides a disservice.
