Imagine awarding marks based on number of pages,and not on merit.

If I'm in the dept,I would definitely top the class. Eg-

Question 1. Define Economics.

Solution- Economics can be define as a science that studies human behavior,this means it studies human behavior,therefore it studies human behavior,in as much economics studies human behavior. Economics studies how human behaves. Human behavior is what economics studies.

sexzskil: The way education is in this country, serves as one of the several reasons why development is one wild wild dream. Am a Unilorin student, from political science and am in 300L. My first semester in 100L was filled with Es and Ds to my shock. I answered all my exam, assignments and test questions so perfectly. I knew this because i do check textbooks to confirm how i approached the questions whenever am through. Honestly, that first semester was terrible and i was already afraid if i could cross. Second semester came and i trippled my effort, was studying for every tests and exams karakara, going for night classes, denying myself of sleep hours and all that. I had just finished my first two exam papers when a guy who was close to our level adviser told me how all the lecturers mark the answer scripts. I was baffled, flabbergasted and dumbfounded. He revealed that some of them would invite class reps over, give them scripts one after the other to count the number of pages the student reached and award the mark based on the multitude of the pages. For instance, supposing our answer leaflet is 30pages and a rep counts a certain student's answered pages to be 10, the lecturer would direct him/her to give him/her 18. If it is 20 pages, the lecturer might instruct, ''give him 25'', and so on. Like WTF? I then realised i have been writing nothing more than 3 pages for one question all along, at least we are usually expected to answer 4 questions inside eight. Gbask! I set to quickly put things right before it was too late. I still had six more courses to write. I planned to start writing novels in exam hall, even putting irrelevant stuffs at anywhere i found myself since they never read anything we write. The first paper i wrote after discovering this was something else. I filled up 37 pages out of 38. I continued with this routine till i finished my papers. The only thing i always make sure i did was to write accurate things at the beginning and final pages of the leaflet. The department that their lecturers are fond of this scheme are those in History department. When the results were released i got six C, one D and one E. Guess what? The E and C were the ones i wrote before i met that guy!, and found out the reason for my past failures. Honestly that guy saved my a.ss, else i would not have crossed. This is the situation in some departments in Unilorin, the present acclaimed best university in Nigeria. Though i doff my hat for the school's innovation and pace setting in other various cases.

Seriously, education in this country never seems to leave the h.ole.

aaronson: If its not UNIBEN then we not talking school.

Uncle, it happens in Uniben too! I graduated from Accounting dept there and there was this course I kept getting an E each time I write it until a 1st class coursemate told me something strange. Penultimate year we sat for the course again HRM and got Es as usual but my coursemate who was convinced he couldn't have gotten an E, took it up officially. He wrote to the Dean thru the HOD challenging the grade. It later turned out dat the lecturer didn't mark ANY of the exam scripts, but simply awarded grades!!! I almost fainted. And to imagine that the lecturer was a young, energetic, pious fellow for whom I had so much respect. I didn't forgive him till I graduated. So pls stop being defensive about Uniben, the rot is worldwide.

Elxandre:
The word you were looking for is ' Nationwide'

Artistree:
I wasn't searching for any word cos I sure knew the difference between WORLDWIDE and NATIONWIDE. Corruption is not a monopoly so I knew the word before I typed it. Who no go no know...

Elxandre:
Corruption exists everywhere, but not in the educational sector. You can't tell me a university professor at Harvard will intentionally deny students deserved grades indiscriminately. Of course he knows he is very much accountable for his misdeeds.

It's important to note that, UNILORIN is as formidable an institution in Africa, as Harvard is in the West.

You should then know that A is an impossibility.
Our Level Adviser usually tells us then that A is for God, B is for their family while the rest are for us.

Half-baked undergraduate, me? Well, thank goodness it is not ''half-baked graduate''! I wonder why u only dug my signature and not my original post on this thread? Well, my signature seem a ''passive'' clause. Meanwhile, i know what i wrote and i also understood what you just explained, but u may as well critically study the text of this signature once more. ''Passive''!

Why two of una dey fight na? Both of you should try and show some iota of maturity abeg.

SEYIKP: THERE ARE SOME DEPARTMENT IN UNILORIN, THAT I WONT ADVICE MY LOVE ONES TO CHOOSE E.G:ENGLISH,POL- SCI AND CHEMISTRY. THESE THREE CANBE FRUSTRATING. @OP, WHEN A LECTURER IN A UNIVERSITY ASK U QUESTION, HE EXPECTS YOU TO SAY EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SUBJECT HE'S GIVING YOU. E.G, WHAT IS EARTH ? HE DIDN'T EXPECTS U TO JUST SAY, EARTH IS AN OBLATE SPHERIOD ONLY. BUT ALSO TO TELL HIM THE LAYERS AND THEIR FEATURES. THAT DOESN'T MEAN U ARE DOING 'I TOO KNOW'(ITK). BUT IT SHOWNS TO HIM UR UNDERSTANDING ABT D SUBJECT.

Madam, this post could get you an automatic expulsion!!!

I am a student of UNILORIN myself, and this write-up u have here, if they can trace it back to you - trust me, you will be lucky to get ordinary suspension. It might seems silly and stupid, but i honestly implore you to delete this, take it down however you can. Even if your claims are true, take it to the Dean of Student Affairs, not Seun's Nairaland.. This is an outright defamation of character (so they will accuse you).

If you have spent 3Yrs in UNILORIN, you should know how minute offences make students 'face tanke'.

This is just my own 3 kobo worth of Imoran - Trash it, Wash it, Use it or Criticize it... I have delivered my message.

May God bless us.

Cheers....
