Student review [#88093] for Law
at University of KwaZulu-Natal - UKZN

So far University(UKZN) has been great to me, filled with exceptionally good people from students to Professors who really inspires us to develop deep love for our courses especially Dr Surban who is the main lecture for Introduction to Laws. However, imposter syndrome will always be there at Uni as there are students who really dress well here and having few clothes demotivated you from even attending but speaking to the right people about imposter really helps. Plus, there are people and departments on campus that offer free counselling services which is great to me because a lot of us as students really go through a lot! The volume of work is also a lot here at University so you really need to put an effort that’s 10× or more than the effort you used to put in your High School work. Another thing that has really shocked me about varsity is something called DP(Dully Performed). This is some sort of a permit of certificate that you must get in order to be able to sit for an exam ans it has strict requirements such as a specific assessment mark and tutorial as well as lecture attendance. Trust me, you don’t wanna end up on the DP refusal list cos that can be very hectic as it means you will not be able to sit for your Exam, imagine! Usually here at UKZN specifically on the School of Law, most modules require 80% attendance for lectures, 100% attendance tutorials and a 40% assessment mark. This means that if you miss 1 tutorial, your DP will be refused and you won’t sit for an exam. I would not advice anyone to join or affiliate themselves with student’s political organisations on his first year because politics here bring a lot of pandemonium plus there are Razzmatazz left right and centre so you might not get time to catch up on your studies.
