Subject: Enquires of Final examination with concern of COVID-19

Dear Sir/ Madam,

As a matter of fact, the entire world has been experiencing an extreme pandemic
called Corona Virus. I have investigated on this sickness by my own and have
assembled some fundamental data which I might want to share. Covid-19 is an
infection started from Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Coronavirus is a huge family
infection that causes side effects running from regular cold to serious intense
respiratory disorder (SARS). The infection is basically spread between individuals
during close contact, frequently by means of little droplets delivered by sniffling,
coughing and talking and furthermore, by coming in contact or touching surfaces or
items that might be polluted with the virus. And symptoms of this disease start to
appear 2 to 14 days after you come into contact with the infection. Normal symptoms
of Covid-19 may include fatigue, cough, fever with body temperature of 38oC and
above, shortness of breath, loss of appetite and loss of feeling of smell. Luckily, we
can make a move to shield ourselves and our family from getting the disease by
staying home, by washing hands completely with cleanser and warm water or with a
soap or sanitizer, by avoiding close contact with individuals who are coughing,
sneezing and having fever, by not touching nose, eyes, mouth and other part of the
body frequently without washing hands and lastly it can be avoided by avoiding
crowded places. There is a great deal of approaches to forestall transmission of
infection to other which are, first, by covering the mouth and nose when sniffling or
coughing by utilizing tissue, and throwing used tissues to the trash and by using face
mask whenever you are in crowded places and lastly by keep on keeping around 6
feet among yourself as well as other people.

Now I would like to ask you a few inquiries with respect to our final exams that because
of Covid-19 how we are going to conduct our final examination for this semester and
without putting any troubles on students in this college and outside it. And as far as
my concern is about to know the format of exams because according to this situation,
we cannot follow the previous format. And according to current situation if you
somehow managed to direct the final examination on online, would you say you are
going to reduce the time of the exam so that the students wouldn’t have the opportunity
to cheat and if you do that how are you going to consider the time it takes for a student
to log in to the exam page with poor connection of the internet because some student
have already gone back to their home and different countries have different time zones.
And lastly how you consider the time it takes for the student to take pictures of the
answers and upload it in the Moodle? Because it takes a lot of time so, is the time
period remains the same or you going to increase it.

By adding more, I would like to share some suggestion to the Office of The School of
Foundation Studies that the exam timing should be flexible so that every student
attend it easily without any discomfort. In simple words I just wanted to say that the
timing of our exams would be similar to our final examination. Lastly there Should
likewise be measures in Case of trouble like if student’s internet quits working or any
other technical interference during test.

I hope that you will pay attention to my email and also acknowledge my suggestions
and we will propose a reasonable method to manage these circumstances, I am
likewise looking for your kind response.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Raza Ahmad
