I have thought over this issue for some period of time and have come to the conclusion that this is the bane of examination corruption, sexual harassment by lecturers, missing script, miscalculation of scores e.t.c in our universities.

For example, a course was written by a set of students, they were all happy after the paper and began predicting A's or even A+ in that course due to how easy the questions were. But to the surprisr of the students, nobody had a C in that course. He practically shared E's to the lucky students and F's to the unlucky students. It was later discovered that he submitted the result a day after the papers were written. He also wanted to prove that "una tink say una sabi book abi, i go show una" and that they needed to grease his pocket. Nothing could be done to him.
There are many more of these stories in our universities, we know of ladies being sexually harassed by lecturers and marks being awarded according to the mood of the lecturers.

My suggestion which i want students to fight for and even a law passed to rectify if necessary is that exam scripts be returned after marking is done. It will reduce
1. examination corruption
2. sexual harassment
3. missing scripts
4. Miscalculation of scores

Great idea, but it might be a bit problematic in those courses being offered by thousands of students. Imagine trying to return scripts in a course with over 10, 000 students e.g GNS that is being done by all fresher across all faculties without exception.

I remember a course I did in the university, Eng 104. (English literature). It was a borrowed course. I will never forget that course because when we got to the board to check our results, the lecturer used a D D E D C sharing system as our marks while sprinkling a few Fs inbetween. It meant all those with matric ending in 5,10, 15 e.t.c had Cs while all others had Ds and Es and some Fs. There was no single B. It was clear he didn't mark our scripts and our mark was determined by d luck of one's matrix number. We grumbled and grumbled but nothing happened.

Most Universities have a system of calling for review of one's papers. It's just that the price attached to it is too much and students also fear victimization. I feel the best option is for universities to make the process of calling for one's papers more open, as well as less rigorous and expensive.
