In Nigeria as in most developing African countries, it is generally believed that an average Nigerian student can only boost his/her CGPA at beginners level of 100 n 200. having received such orientation before and on entry into tertiary institutions, most students tend to accept their fate as it may good or bad on attaining higher levels which is belived to have little or no impact on individuals CGPA. this backdrop has led to a decline in ambitious n healthy competition among undergraduates, ushering in a creeping decline as regards learning behavioural patterns and general student performances in pursuit of their btech, bsc n ba degrees. this can evidently be decoded from the quality of final year students thesis/projects, where certain students state objectives without providing answers to problems talk more of contributing to knowledge having the mentality of just writing final year projects to fulfil graduation requirement. thereby defeating the purpose of education. this and manymore adverse effect can only be averted by a change of orientation whereby students are motivated to put in more effort not withstanding current CGPA's as education is more about learning n contributing to existing knowledge. what's your take on this.

If you dont have a good foundation, the building is not safe. If you have poor grades in your first year and 2nd year, it will affect the latter years even if you have As all through. It must have little effect.

very true. but I think education goes beyond grades. its more of individual development n capacity building
grades should not be used as a yast
ic to quantity productivity.

Yes, cos 1st and 2nd years' courses are relatively easier. The higher u go, the harder it becomes. So get all the A's u can get then so dat wen combined with the B's and C's u will get in final years, you can make 2:1 or 1st class.
