17 carry overs and first class? it was when i read further to find out that he changed departments that i got a clearer picture, but then having 17 carry overs would have really battered your GP silly...in any case i say a big congrats to him.

Congrats. You have found your calling

Idrismusty97:
Why are so many people commenting without reading? The interesting topic is even enough to make you curious enough, Don't you all want to know how he did it? He got 17 carryovers in physics department, Wrote JAMB and apply for Psychology in the same university. In essence he started afresh after getting the 17 carryovers when he was already in 300lv of the physics department. Learn to Read! This is why i always tell the new intakes having a CGPA of below 1.0 or a very low CGPA to start afresh instead of crawling with that CGPA. You can imagine some people in 500Level/Final year having 0.7 CGPA, What do you want to do with it? If only you started afresh much earlier.

i don't its possible to have 0.7 CGPA in 500L, you can only be below 1.0 for just a semester during which you are on probation...if you fail to make 1.00 in the next semester then it's bye bye..

U can't say it better my bro.. ours is phs 263, we were crying in exam hall.. outta 60, 1A, 3c, 2D, 12E, 42F , it was like film trick. A physics graduate in unilag can survive in hell fire..

Rotfl......I don't know about that o but its a terrible situation over there sha

refiner:


lol....don't believ again

i cant help but to believe you again o

Anyway congrats to him

Mr man read well, simple story you couldn't understand. oga o.

he started school again, so what's prerequisite in this, or you sha wan make we know you sabi one thing called prerequisite.

Walesadeyemi:

He started with physics and then switched to psychology.

We that graduated from the physics department of unilag know what our eyes saw. Physics is not an easy course to study in any university.

There is no easy course to study in school, ranging from Physics to Psychology

This portrays Nigerian students poor reading ability..pls take your time to go through the story.

Truth is, every student will want to justify how difficult his/her department is, ESPECIALLY wen dey are failing. You hear things like "Ah Engineering is so difficult, if i was in philosophy, my 2:2 will be a 1st class" (Stories). But let it be known dat you cant perform well in a department you av no pre-training for. As an Engineering student, u can neva do better in political science nd vice-versa cus u av no pre-knowledge of d course nd ur interest in it also greatly matters. So to all d physics students, yes ur course is difficult and only you guys can excel in it bt dnt be so silly as to compare it with oda courses. YOU WILL FAIL WOEFULLY!!!

broaden your knowledge about psychology... And don't b ignorant... To those that spew shit about psychology

Myths About Psychology

Common Misconceptions
By Kendra Cherry, Psychology Expert
Updated April 06, 2015.
For many people, their first experience with the field of psychology happens when they take an introductory course in the topic to fulfill a university general education requirement. No wonder that there are so many different misconceptions about exactly what psychology is and isn't! Here are just a few of the most common misunderstandings.

Myth 1: Psychology Is Easy
This misconception is perhaps the first one dispelled for many students as they struggle through their general psychology courses.
Continue Reading Below
Why do some people mistakenly believe that psychology is simple and easy? The reason might be because many tend to assume that since they have so much personal experience with human behavior, that they will just naturally be experts on the subject.
Obviously, no one would suggest that an English class would be an easy A just because you speak English. Just like English can be a challenging subject for any native speaker, psychology classes can be just as tough, particularly for students who have little experience with the subject or who have a limited background in subjects such as science and math.

just because psychology is challenging does not mean that it isn't accessible to anyone who might take an interest in it. While there might be a learning curve, you can definitely
succeed in your psychology classes with effort and determination.


Myth 2: Psychology Is Just Common Sense
Often after hearing about the latest psychological research, people tend to have an "Of Course!" type of response. "Of course that's true! Why do people even waste their time researching stuff that's just common sense?" people sometimes exclaim.
Continue Reading Below
But is it really? Pick up any book outlining some of the most famous experiments in the history of psychology and what you'll quickly realize is that much of this research refutes what was believed to be common sense at the time. Would you deliver potentially fatal electrical shocks to a stranger just because an authority figure told you to? Common sense might have you emphatically saying no, but psychologist Stanley Milgram famously demonstrated in an obedience experiment that the vast majority of people would do such a thing.
That's the thing about common sense – just because something seems like it should be true does not necessarily mean that it is. Researchers are able to take some of these questions and presumptions about human behavior and test them scientifically, assessing the truth or falsehood in some of our commonly held beliefs about ourselves. By using scientific methods , experimenters can investigate human issues objectively and fairly.


Myth 3: You Can Become a Therapist with a Bachelor's Degree
In order to become a practicing therapist, you will need at least a master's degree in a field such as psychology, counseling, social work, or advanced
psychiatric nursing . There are many opportunities to work in the field of mental health at the bachelor's level, but these positions tend to be considered entry-level. You cannot open your own private therapy practice with just a bachelor's degree.
It is also important to be aware that the professional title "Psychologist " is a regulated term. In order to call yourself a psychologist, you need to earn a doctorate degree in psychology , complete a supervised internship, and pass state licensing exams.


Myth 4: Psychologists Get Paid Lots of Money to Listen to People Talk
Certainly some psychologists are very well compensated for their work. But the notion that they are just passively sitting back, doodling on a yellow notepad while their clients ramble on could not be further from the truth. The traditional talk therapy is only one technique that a therapist might use, and it's certainly not a passive process. Throughout these sessions, therapists are actively engaged in listening to the client, asking questions, providing advice, and helping clients develop solutions to put into daily practice.


Psychologists actually work in a wide number of professions and perform an enormous range of different duties. Salaries can vary just as dramatically. Some of the lowest paying psychology jobs start out in the $20,000 - $30,000 range, while the highest paying jobs can reach up in the $100,000 to $250,000 range. Factors such as specialty area, educational background, and years of experience are what determine salary.


Myth 5: Psychology Isn't a Real Science
Another common myth about psychology is that it isn't a real science. First, let's examine exactly what science is and is not.
Some key characteristics of a science:
As you can see, psychology relies on all of these methods in order to investigate human and animal behavior. Researchers utilize the scientific method to conduct research, which means that variables are controlled and operationally defined. Experimenters are able to test different hypotheses and use statistical analysis to determine the likelihood that such results are due merely to chance. Psychologists also present their findings in a way that makes it possible for other researchers to replicate their experiments and methods in the future.
Psychology might be a relatively young science in the grand scheme of things, but is indeed a real science. However, it is important to note that scientific psychology does have some limitations. Human behavior can vary and change over time, so what is true in one particular time and place might not necessarily apply in different situations, settings, cultures, or societies.

cool...almost miracle-like.

U obviously didn't read the story! He failed in physics, withdrew, got admitted into psychology and got a first class. Next time, try digest you hear?!

Discovery give room to recovery
