Rethink University assignments and exams.
As considered for GCSE and ALevel students, change the way university students are assessed this year. School and college students are not expected to sit their exams this year as they haven't spent enough time in school, why is this different for university students?
It is unfair to expect university students to do the same amount of work to the same standard as previous years whilst having more responsibilities and obstacles.
University students are stressed, receiving little support and are overworking during this pandemic, yet we haven't been considered in any briefings.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about the assessment of university courses are a matter for individual universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
The Office for Students has published guidance for providers about quality and standards during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which sets out its expectations regarding teaching and assessments: www.officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/guidance-for-providers-about-quality-and-standards-during-coronavirus-pandemic/.
If you have concerns about your university's arrangements for teaching and assessment you should raise these with your university or the Office for Students, which regulates the higher education sector.
