University Lecturer Threatens to Give Entire Class F Grades Over Stolen Phone

 

A University of Juba lecturer has threatened to fail his entire class unless the students return or replace his missing cell phone. The lecturer demanded that each student contribute KSh 3,000 for a replacement phone.  The incident occurred during an "Introduction to Computer Science" session at the university's Custom Campus. Students didn't produce missing phone Hot in Juba reports that the unnamed lecturer claims that his Tecno Spark 10 Pro smartphone disappeared from his desk shortly after a lecture.  "I had placed it on the table while lecturing, and when I left, I absent-mindedly forgot the phone," the lecturer stated. Upon his return, it was apparent that the device had been taken away but no student claimed responsibility. In a desperate attempt to retrieve his phone, the lecturer warned his students that he would impose academic sanctions if the phone was not produced. "Please, if you took my phone, return it," he pleaded. "If you don't bring back my phone, then I'll punish all of you." Entire faculty affected The threat extends to all students, including those from the School of Computer Science and Information Technology plus Cybersecurity and the School of Applied Sciences. "All students are affected. Payment is a must for everyone," he insisted. "I will give you an F in exams if you don't pay." The lecturer demanded that each student contribute 3,000 South Sudanese Pounds (KSh 3,000) for a replacement phone with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB storage capacity. This demand has sparked criticism and outrage among students, with some recalling a similar incident from the previous year. "He ordered us to contribute money to buy him a trouser or face failing our exams," one student claimed. Students laugh at lecturer over Chemistry question In an earlier story, a group of university students could not help but laugh at a lecturer who got stuck while solving a Chemistry question. The lecturer appeared to have forgotten a particular step while solving the problem, so he just stood and stared at the board. The video sparked reactions among TikTok users as they said chemistry was complex and the lecturer could not be blamed.
