Fourth year students from publishing and Media Studies class were on Tuesday morning subjected to shame after one of their lecturers threw heavy words on them.
The act , which occurred during the controversial class presentation, left students with many rhetoric questions and divided feelings about the lecturer and the course. It was reported that the lecturer had passed by the venue in the morning not to find students in. He then proceeded to his office and came back frustrated.” This is a silly behavior that you are developing… students coming to class after the lecturer is something so stupid”, exclaimed the lecturer. This was normal to many since it was not their first time to be mocked. However, according to a minority group who seemed to be pissed off by the lecturer’s comments, students had decided to assemble outside so as to pave way for the workers to clean the room.

Presentations kicked off as normal with group one members missing in action. Group two members could not believe the way they were being diminished with questions. They hardly answered a question before being informed that their time was up.” I can’t believe this! He has indicated “poor” presentation yet he didn’t give us time to present”, marveled one member.
Group three was the next devil’s snare. The members were attacked severallywith complex questions. No sooner had they began than they were told to present logically! “How can you jump from section one to seven yet section two addresses your question properly? You are journalists”, exclaimed the lecturer. In a bid to respond, a member of group three was silenced not to utter a word again. “Don’t teach me how am supposed to teach you. In fact, check your words”, pointed the lecturer. To the class, this was undermining the rights of students. “Allow them talk, they have a freedom of expression”, said one student.
Group four members were shocked after being informed that their answers were so irrelevant. They remained glued on their seats trying to consult each other on the way forward. Unfortunately, their time was up! “That means you didn’t study the constitution”, said the lecturer.
The end matter left students with doubts of the final results. “I only need 40% and that is it”, said one student. To others, it was a tragedy. “I don’t even know why I am studying law and the constitution when I came to Moi to study media”, marveled one student. The debate struck some heat in the social media, but still the students could not fathom the whole episode.
