It is unfair that our hard work has been declined hence we deserve fair marking of our assessment 2.Nomzamo Mbhele (Durban, 2026-05-15)

I value the work I have completed and do not wish to have it dismissed without clear clarification on what has transpired regarding Trunitin. Alternative options need to be made available for those who have upheld their academic integrity and that of UNISA.I have worked extremely hard to afford myself the privilege of receiving an education at a higher institution of learning. Therefore, I stand alongside my fellow peers and call for an investigation into the mismanagement of our assignments.

i find that many of us have worked extremely hard and that we put effort into this assignment, saying we are not at a disadvantage is not true , there’s people who rely on assignment two because they felt that did much better in that one , to leave us in the dark after we fought to get into the light? unfair.taitum arries (port elizabeth, 2026-05-15)

I want fair treatment amongst all the students and the decision taken by the department of ENG 1503 should review it and punish those with higher percentage of turnitin provided their scripts where highlighted because I clearly understand that cover page, Reference list and Plagiarism form were the only one that got highlighted by the turnitin.Paulina Dipuo Segakweng (Rustenburg, 2026-05-15)

I'm signing this petition because I feel it's unfair not to know where to improve and fix my mistakes before writing my examination. It's best to know my results as I'm preparing for my final exams.Desiree Monareng (Germiston, 2026-05-15)

I'm signing this petition regard to the unfairness of our ENG 1503 assessments , why can't we get our marks ? The time we invested in these assessments just can't go down the drain , I mean these were emotionally and mentally draining.

As a student at the University of South Africa , I feel heavily impacted due to the fact that my assessment which I put so much effort in to , is being disregarded.I feel violated by far because the decision taken to disregard Assessment 2 is unethical and unprofessional.I demand the release of my assessment 2 marks.Derrylynne Koopman (Cape Town, 2026-05-15)
#125
I'm signing this because as a ENG1503 student it concerns me that some assignment will not be added to our year mark that is not fair it took our time, internet data to do the research for these assignments so why now they are excluded this is actually dimotivating us as students to write assignments, hopefully our concerns will be addressed.Nomthandazo Ericah Chiliza (Umzinto, 2026-05-15)

I write assignments 2 and they didn't even mark assignments 1 but now they say they will only consider assignments 1 for a year markThandazile Mhlongo (Johannesburg, 2026-05-15)
#143
I am signing because I did not receive my assignment 1 and 2 results and our lectures are saying they would not include assignment 2 results. The high Turnitin of other students does not have to affect us too. Please do something about this we cannot fail the exam because of other students fault.Mukovhe Charity Mfuni (Johannesburg, 2026-05-15)
#145
I’m signing because students who submitted assignments on time deserve to have them marked and counted toward the year mark. Excluding valid submissions is unfair and affects our final results.Nokwazi Hlengwa (Durban, 2026-05-15)
#147
I am signing this petition because I believe it is unfair for students to be negatively affected without proper academic transparency and support. Many of us completed Assessment 2 honestly and independently, yet it has been excluded entirely due to alleged similarities, without individual consideration. In addition, Assessment 1 marks have not yet been released, despite exams being imminent. As students, feedback is essential for us to identify areas of improvement, understand our performance, and prepare adequately for examinations. Writing exams without receiving assessment feedback places students at a serious disadvantage and undermines the learning process.Rose Nkau (Johannesburg, 2026-05-15)

I am signing this petition because I don't understand this matter,I didn't copy any of my assessment, I don't understand that I should be penalized for something I did not doS Tomose

#156
I'm signing because of the unfair decision taken by the ENG1503 Department, of disregarding assignment 2. I feel this is very unfair and inconsiderate as I put work on my assignment and I deserved to be marked and given feedback. Even if it is a zero mark, but at least I will know where I went wrong. I wrote my assignment 2 and I want my mark.Goitsemang Olebogeng Molebatsi (Zeerust, 2026-05-15)

I'm signing because of the ^Fairness in assessment — Assignment 2 required time, effort, data costs, and preparation, I feel it is unfair for it to be excluded from the year mark after submission.Academic impact — For some students, that assignment could have improved their final year mark and reduced pressure for the exam. Excluding it may disadvantage students who performed well in it.

My best friend worked hard and ensured she followed all instructions. She deserves for her assignment to be marked fairly based on the work she put in. It is not her fault that there are individuals who are incapable of thinking for themselves and can only rely on AI. Therefore I believe individuals should be marked according to their own assignmentsAaishah Miller (Cape Town, 2026-05-15)
#182
I’m signing because I find it unfair that we are all punished on assignment 2 for ENG1503 for high percentage in turnitin where as some of us did not use AI to write our essay assessment, I believe that only students who used AI must be punished not all of us .Gcina Goodness Mthembu (Johannesburg, 2026-05-15)
#183
My assignment 01 marks have not been released, and my assignment 02 wasn't even marked. Putting time and effort into something only for it to be disregarded is honestly demotivating and frustrating. I feel they should have marked all assignments and made decisions based on each paper, rather than punishing everyone without having even completed the marking.Baswabile Monaiwa (Benoni, 2026-05-15)

I really worked hard, I never used artificial intelligence, I haven't attend school in over a decade, I come from an era where AI never existed and English was the highest mark on my matric Certificate, I never had an outstanding matric, but I want a second chance to do something of value with my life and grow linguistically, ENG1503 is a valuable module, it is the foundation of all academic writing, that I have now encountered in other modules and I am navigating blindly. I don't know where I stand, how is my current writing ability as well as my development.... I am self Funded, saving every little cent to develop myself. Why did I ask my family to excuse me from tasks, and even a short trip to Rustenburg, if it was all for nothing ..... All that Reading, did I even comprehend what was asked ? Am I on the right track....... Yes, I'm signing... I am hustling for a self development course, paying for a service , by the institution.Zizile Thwala (Ekurhuleni, 2026-05-16)
