9 Ways To Make A First Class In all Nigeria University

          No comments

1. Go To Class!
While going to class sounds too simple to be a primary concern, this is one of the most effective study habit. Going to class not only keeps you disciplined and focused on what you're at this University to do - it allows you to absorb the subject matter simply by sitting through the lectures. If you're an auditory learner, this is tremendous because listening to the explanation in the lectures will create an understanding that should be convenient enough to pass the class in itself!
If you're a visual learner then watching the notes being written on the board or reading through the slides (if available in your university) during the presentation will give you the necessary understanding to pass the class.
Going to class also ensures you have the latest news on assignments, tests, quizzes, and exams straight from your lecturer’s mouth. You don't want to be that student that shows up for class once a week only to find there's a scheduled test on that day!
You can make it. See you at the top.

2. Pre-Read Lecture Material
One night I was bored. Very bored. I grabbed a textbook for a class whose lecture I had the next morning and I began reading from the point we stopped at in the previous lecture. It was difficult to understand and took a lot of focus to push through it but the next day in class while listening to the teacher, it crystallized in my mind and was easy from then on. It had the added benefit of being committed to my long term memory giving me a better understanding of the material. It makes sense if you think about it. I was essentially learning the material twice. First, alone. Secondly, with the help of an expert. These combined into a solid understanding that I still possess to this day.
I suggest that you do this for every class. Also, you may use this technique for anything that you deem to be very difficult or abstract. That way you'll have a great head start on understanding and mastering the hard stuff, leaving plenty of time for filling in the gaps with the easy stuff!

3. Explore Other Class Resources
Many class outlines will have "optional" reading listed along with the required textbook. This is often a HUGE opportunity for easy marks and guaranteed success in the particular class. Lecturers are humans just like me and you. Their job is to relay the required material and then test you on it. If they're using the required textbook as reference for the learning part, where do you think they're going to get the material for the testing part? If you say "the required textbook", you're probably wrong! Lecturers will often take exam or test questions out of their favorite textbooks, resulting in quality assessments from a trusted source. Those favorite textbooks are often listed as optional reading material on the course outline. Also don't forget the mighty Internet. Use Wikipedia and Google as well to find extra (often better!) resources on whatever it is that you're struggling with.

4. Get To Know Some of Your Classmates
This one can be extremely demanding for many people these days. Meeting people is becoming increasingly difficult in a world of social stigmas and fears of disapproval. I'm not going to tell you how to meet people. But when you do, the benefits will become apparent. Having someone to lean on for notes from a lecture that you missed, being able to bounce questions and ideas off of somebody, and most importantly having someone to check your assignment answers with before you hand it in, are all spectacular reasons to swallow your nerves and start saying "Hi! My name is...." to the people in your class...and don't have too many female friends (winks).

5. Get Your Questions Resolved
Information in your field of study is cumulative and the last stuff you learned will be instrumental in understanding the next stuff! So anytime you don't understand something or have a question about the subject matter, get your question answered as soon as you can. Whether by asking during class, after class, or by asking a fellow student - do it. You need to stay on top of the subject matter in order to be ready for the next stuff that's coming. Don't let the holes in your understanding be knowledge pits for the future!

6. Use Your Time Wisely in between classes as well as before and after school. There are many opportunities to sneak in some studying or homework that many students either don't realize or just don't use. I've known people who would study on the keke during the ride to and from school. I've also known people that would combine the time waiting for a lecture to begin with their study time!
Just bring your notes and instead of pinging or chatting endlessly with friends. You get a workout for your body and for your brain! Always keep your notes handy and use any spare time for simple review to make sure you're on top of the material. All of those small moments you fill with studying will really add up to a solid understanding. You'll discover that you will require less studying when exam time arrives. That's huge.

7. Begin Studying For Tests and Exams EARLY
Between academics and your social life, time is not something you will have in ample quantity throughout your stay in University. One cardinal act you should always make time for is studying early for exams. There's nothing worse than leaving all of the studying for the night before an important test or exam. The stress causes you to panic and you won't perform as well as you normally would if you had studied early enough. Studying a little bit during the semester will not only make you better prepared but will also remove most stress you'd have if you leave your studying for the last minute.
Early exam studying allows a student to identify weak spots in their understanding and to prioritize their studying accordingly. Just imagine studying until the early morning of the day of your exam only to find you've completely ignored a section that you have little or no understanding in. Don't let that happen

8. Obtain Old Exams Question papers and Assignments from your senior colleagues to procure a satisfactory idea of what subject matter the instructors are most likely to test you on.
They are even more useful because you can attempt the exam/assignment as a check of knowledge, identifying weak areas that you must take into further consideration or re-study. Last semester, I was studying gluconeogenesis in Medical Biochemistry and a senior colleague of mine happened to pass by. He appeared interested and proceeded to supply me a couple of past questions. One was “Gluconeogenesis is not necessarily the reversal of Glycolysis. Explain”. Propitiously, in my end of semester examination, it was asked exactly as I was given in Number 2. It was worth 10 marks.
One common tactic many students use for science laboratory classes is to find a graded laboratory notebook from a previous year. Laboratory work is notoriously difficult with respect to time limitation and what is expected from a student’s lab report. Having a format to follow along with is a phenomenal help. Knowing where to avoid mistakes is fundamental as well.

9. Take Extensive Notes
Probably the most tedious of our top 10 9, maintaining a consistent habit of taking good notes is hard to do. In our present world, many students find it difficult to maintain their focus long enough to record the information given out during lectures. The advantage being that when time comes to write a quiz/test/exam, you'll be glad you have that pile of notes to review and refresh your brain with. Taking good notes is an act of learning in itself. This small but potent act goes a long way to creating the foundation for a quintessential and unparalleled understanding of the material being covered.
An excellent method is also to scribble down everything that seems useful in some manner, almost as if you were transcribing the lecture. Later, transfer and rewrite the notes into an understandable form in another notebook. This will cement the information into your mind, moving the material from your short term memory into your long term. Time and again, we seem to understand a lecture when it is delivered. Unfortunately though, a week later or two we seem to lose almost every point that was made. Note taking is one of the best ways to consolidate short term memory into long term.

THUGS INVADED ASUP OKO CHAPTER DURING A MEETING TODAY!

          No comments


Tuesday turned out to be a day members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Oko chapter will never forget as hired thugs descended on members of the Union during an emergency meeting at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Anambra state.
The National President of ASUP, Comrade Asomugha Chibuzor was said to be present when the hoodlums, believed to be those loyal to the management of the Polytechnic attacked the Union staff, including the Secretary, Mrs. Oguagua Ochuba.
The meeting which concluded that the ongoing strike should continue and also rejected the proposal by the Professor Godwin-Onu management team of the Polytechnic that computers be used for exams took place on the campus. The Rector, Professor Onu condemned the act of the thugs and assured the team of ASUP members that those responsible will be caught and appropriately dealt with.

KILLING OUR POLYTECHNICS #VoiceOfTheStudents

          No comments

SHOULD our polytechnics continued to be relegated to the background? This question has been asked times without any consensus as to whether the answer should be in the affirmative or not.

This confusion is worsened by government’s inability to be decisive and make up its mind on what it hopes to do with polytechnic education. This inconsistency in public policy formulation and implementation could largely explain why our polytechnics will have to be on strike for several weeks running without anybody really doing something concrete to end the imbroglio.



What dominates our national life is politics. It is politics galore – left, right and centre. Sure, politics is important but it becomes counter-productive if good governance is sacrificed on the altar of party politics.

Members of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics have down tools over the non-constitution of governing councils for polytechnics, monotechnics, and colleges of technology; non-release of government white paper of the visitation panels to federal polytechnics and non-commencement of the NEEDS Assessments of the Nigerian polytechnics.


Other grievances include need for the changing of the deplorable conditions of state government-owned polytechnics, monotechnics and colleges of technology; the continued appointment of unqualified persons as rectors and provosts by some state governments and the failure of most state governments to implement the approved salary package (CONPCASS), and 65- year retirement age for their members.


The union is also aggrieved by the insistence of the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation in implementing the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, IPPIS, module; continued delay in the amendment of the Polytechnics Act;  the appointments of principal officers on acting positions in some polytechnics,  monotechnics  and colleges  of technology beyond the approved periods; the review of the polytechnics’ scheme of service; and the non-commencement of the re-negotiation of the Federal Government/ASUP agreement as contained in the signed agreement.

To any discerning mind, the agitations put forward by the workers are legitimate and reasonable. What is worrisome, however, is the inability of the appropriate agencies in addressing the issues raised but this is not happening maybe because it’s about the polytechnics.

It is saddening that polytechnic education in Nigeria is being treated with disdain, culminating into why their graduates are regularly stigmatized in the labour market and seen as mere educated-illiterates.

Going back the memory lane, this system was originally adopted from the British. It was designed not to be more than intermediate institution to train technologists and middle-level manpower. That is, the Higher National Diploma certificate was never meant to be equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree as erroneously being claimed here over the years.

This disparity has continued to create acrimony until it was abrogated in1992 under the British Higher Education Act, in which all the polytechnics in the United Kingdom were elevated to conventional universities.

Despite what critics claim that polytechnics have outlived their usefulness, the strategic importance of polytechnic education – as enunciated in the Nigeria’s National Policy on Education – to provide for practical, technical knowledge and skills that are necessary for agricultural, industrial, commercial and economic transformation – cannot be over-emphasized.

Unfortunately, most students seeking admission into higher institutions in Nigeria would hardly pick polytechnics. The reason is simple: Why choose polytechnics when the universities are there? Many students that end up in polytechnics are those who could not secure university admission coupled with the pressure and influence of parents and guardians, who always prefer that their children and wards attend universities.

IN the late 1970s, when there was an effort by the Federal Government to scrap HND, with the hope of creating a pool of technicians that will be different from engineers, as produced by the universities, but this attempt failed due to the poor implementation of the policy that merely replaced HND with a lower certificate; National Technical Certificate, NTC, which was vehemently resisted by the students.

To redress the anomaly, an attempt was made by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration to end the discrimination between HND and BSc graduates. In a 40-page paper, the Presidential Committee on the Consolidation of Emoluments had discovered that entrants into the public service with HND are barred from reaching the highest grade even when they were found competent.

Before the removal of the ceiling on the salary grade level/rank, the promotion of HND holders in the nation’s public service terminated at Grade Level 14, while their counterparts holding university degrees were allowed to reach level 17.

Other bias meted out to them include inequality in salary Grade Level (HND – GL 07 & BSc – GL 08), security personnel – Bsc (Commissioned), HND (Non-commissioned), promotion; HND (maximum of GL 12), while BSc (Unlimited), banks and other financial institutions treat HND holders like outcasts while BSc holders are employed as administrative staff, as HND holders are confined within the executive cadre.

Ironically, the frustration had led not a few into all kinds of unemployment, social vices, criminality, non-chalant attitude and complete frustration by those unfortunate young men and women who are groomed to be technically-versatile products, self-employed and job-creators.

What we should do is to strengthen our polytechnics, realising that although the university strives to impart a particular kind of education by teaching ‘why things work’, the polytechnic on the other hand teaches ‘how things work’ thus, they complement each other.

Therefore, non-technical courses that are irrelevant to the core mandates of the institutions should be limited to the barest minimum in the polytechnics to allow them maximize their capacity to train technicians, technologists and middle-level managers.

Over the years, the nation has been experiencing imbalances and disconnect between the actual manpower needs of the economy and the educational system, resulting in dire structural imbalances that are inimical to national development.

As I have observed in an essay, Why HND Should Not Be Scrapped, “The elite should be blamed for policy failures because as policies are being formulated, they also build landmines in order to take the advantage of such loopholes for their selfish interest when eventually the policies fail” (The Vanguard, 27/06/2008, page18).

The nation now needs well-orchestrated objectives that will harness its many talented manpower to produce the synergy that will drive it to development that is not made possible under the present arrangement.

The bitter truth is that inasmuch as we have university graduates who are better than polytechnic graduates, there are also polytechnic graduates who are also far better than the university graduates. So, polytechnic graduates are not mentally inferior in anyway.

And to the UK example, we should not kill our polytechnics. The needs and aspirations of the nations may be similar but the structure and the peculiarities of the two societies completely differ.

The National Board for Technical Education, which supervises these institutions that currently stand at 110 for tertiary technical institutions and 159 technical colleges, should urgently review the curricula of polytechnics to make them go in tandem with modern day reality.

It should be appreciated that the real sector of the economy is the engine room for attaining envisaged development, hence a well-managed economic system requires technical hands that propel the industries to run to optimal capacity.

Without delay, government should pay less attention to party politics and end the ongoing strike by embarking on dialogue with the angry workers. The workers too should be responsive, bearing in mind that all their demands may not be met at a go. This is the right thing to do.

What is your say?: CBT OR PEN ON PAPER WHICH DO YOU PREFER?

          No comments

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONLINE AND PEN AND PAPER EXAMS

Pen & Paper Test Online Test or Computer Based Test
In case of Paper pencil test, the candidate is provided with a Question Booklet and an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) Answer Sheet. Answers are to be marked on the Answer Sheet. In Online Testing, the candidate sits in front of a computer and the questions are presented on the computer monitor and the candidate submits the answers through the use of keyboard or mouse.
The candidate has to choose the correct option and darken the oval completely corresponding to (1), (2), (3) and (4) against the relevant question number.
For Pen on paper, he has to use only HB Pencil. Here, there is a chance that the students may lose marks because of the inappropriate shading of the answers in the OMR sheets. In case of Online Testing, students will be expected to simply click the appropriate option and then click another button to move to the next question.
For Pen on Paper, If the candidate has to change any answer, he has to erase completely the one already marked and darken the fresh oval with an HB pencil. This takes a lot of time and gives rise to the possibility of mutilation of the answer sheet. In an online case, if a candidate wants to change the answer later on, he can come back to that question and click on a different option
In case of paper pencil test, it is easier to cross the options in the question booklet. Also, a candidate can underline or circle the significant information in the question booklet For Online the candidate would be denied such flexibility in case of Online Testing. There are some other issues with which a candidate taking computer based test might have to grapple with.
In a paper pencil test there is no question of a technical error occurring. The questions are in front of a student for them to solve and mark There are chances that a technical failure may occur in case of a computer based test. In that scenario, he may be required to attempt the test again.
Even though it has many advantages, for some students, taking an online exam is a new and somewhat bewildering experience. They don’t know what to expect, and aren’t certain of the skills and strategies that will enable them to perform at their best. In either ways of apprearing for a test, be it pen and paper or online test, a student would have to put in the same level pf preparation. In order to prepare for an online test, a student should take care of the points below:


BEFORE THE ONLINE EXAM: PREPARE

Read and understand the test guidelines: How much time will you have to complete the test? Can you take the test at home, or must you take the exam in a specific location (e.g., a test center as is usually the case with competitive exams in India)? Are there any other important, “need to know” factors outlined by the organization conducting the exam?
Know the test format: What kinds of questions will the exam have —multiple-choice, fill-in, short answer, essay? For example, CAT has two distinct types of questions, with different marking schemes as well
Test yourself: If you can get access to a practice exam available to you, take it! This is where ExamVictor can help, with its array of online mock tests that are exactly like the real thing, and work smoothly on tablet, mobile or laptop.
Plan your time: As you test yourself, limit your time to that which will be allotted for the actual test, and decide how long you will spend on each question
Carve out a quiet test-taking spot with minimal distractions: This is super important for all the mock tests you take. Turn off all notifications from IM, your phone, your email, and elsewhere (or, set them to silent). Shut off the TV and radio. Let your roommates or family know that you’ll be taking a test, so that they’re less likely to interrupt you during that time.
Determine when you will take the test: The body has circadian natural circadian rythms, What this means for you is that you may or may not be at your sharpest at the time of the exam. Some exams are in the morning, some in the afternoon. You need to train yourself to ensure you are at your brightest and sharpest when the exam is to be held. So make sure to do all your mock tests at the same time slot as the actual exam.
Gather all that you’ll need to take the test: You will probably need ID documents, pens, pencils, water and other tools with you, be sure that they’re set to go.
DURING THE ONLINE EXAM: FOCUS

Keep an eye on the clock: You may want to set an alarm to notify you when you have limited time (e.g., 10 minutes) remaining in your testing period.
Don’t leave the test page!: In fact, don’t attempt to do anything else other than the exam. And that means no trying to open a Google tab or sneak in a quick peek at Facebook! Most modern testing software are very sophisticated and have a lot of security features built in. Among other things, they take screenshots of your screen at random intervals, and the webcam is usually on and recording you giving the test. Further, the entire system may lock down and end your test, as trying to do anything else other than the exam paper is considered cheating.
Technical problems? Don’t panic: Contact the testing center in-charge immediately, detailing the exact problem that occurred and any error messages you might have received. If you can take a screen shot, that is helpful as well.
Check your work before you submit it: Ensure that every answer is complete and appears as you intended. Review the accuracy of your answers.
Click submit: You should only need to do so once, but if you have a problem, try once more. If you still have a problem submitting the test, let your instructor know immediately.
AFTER THE ONLINE EXAM: REVIEW

Assess your own: How do you believe you did? What questions did you find confusing? Did you have to skip anything? Return to your notes and readings, and see if you can find the answers to the questions that challenged you.
Check your grade: In some cases, you may be able to learn your grade immediately. However, exams with a longer schedule take longer for to grade, so allow some time to find out your score.
We hope some of these strategies are useful for you. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
