“We had a one on one, he brought about a small issue about my work place and then changed topics. He asked me if I felt the same way as he did. I asked him what exactly he meant. He actions would show me what he wanted. He gave me directions to the lodge,” narrated Eunice.
much more, Eunice also confessed that the lecturer continued to constantly give her retakes and he acted like he does not know her or had no connection with her.
“When I asked why he had raised other students’ marks, he told me “I’m not in position to answer right now, I have handed in the marks to the Dean and you’re going to retake the paper,” she narrated.
