I'm presently on 4.25 after dropping from 4.57 to 4.28 and then to 4.25. I relented due to some issues. Because, I had several options before me so I started losing interest in my course.

Now, my question is, can I still make a first class degree having spent 3 semesters out of 10.

If you don't mind, how was your daily study life like? (after the advice you received).
I want to know if I can apply same principles to my study life.

interestingly, my study time remained kind of same but i improved on the depth knowing my target was to get all As
i studied almost every day for about 2-3 hours...making sure I went through what was taught soon after it was. I studied for longer hours during exams/tests...but you will need to do what works for you..I remembered my friends used to wonder why I did TDB during exams when I had studied almost the whole semester round

then I studied more intently...actually trying to understand what each topic/concept was about...when I didn't, I quickly identified students who did and sought help...I never moved on until i understood the preceeding concept or topic...everything was important, i solved lots of problems, I was not a one-man squad, I read with people of like minds..sometimes some gurus compile solutions to past questions...I got those too & used..

I made sure I understood a particular lecturer's exam setting pattern..I submitted assignments/term papers on time...it passes the right message to lecturers...

I also got all the necessary textbooks (some I bought, some I photocopied), notes, handouts & past questions...very important

AloyalNigerian I feel your pain dear. I was dealing with depression + other school activities so mine slipped from 4.6 to 4.4 this past session. and I had to study like mad the second sem so as to try to get it back to at least 4.5 but I wasn't lucky.

so now I have to study like crazy this new session and write two thesis. whenever I see the result I feel like a failure.
UNN right?

Yes, it's possible. Ensure you make a 5.0 in at least two semesters (a session) whether chronologically or not. I have seen many cases of "on the dot" or slightly above the threshold. Yes, you can with determination and perseverance.

Re: Can I Still Graduate With a First Class? by Realrex(m): 8:03pm On Oct 07, 2017
As for me ain't a first class type but I ensure it's nothing less than 4.0... Who 5.0 epp grin

AntiWailer:


Yes u can..

All u need is a motivation.

U need to target 5.0 in at least 3 -4 semesters and nothing less than 4.6 in others.

5.0 is easy. Target 75 in all ur courses for that semester. Attend class and don't procrastinate.

PM me let us have a deal.

If u push your CGPA to 4.5 I will give u 50k.

And 20k every semester u are still in that 4.5 till u graduate.

I am interested not for the monetary value attached to it but I need a source of motivation that will help me get a distinction in my academic pursuit. I am graduated with a cgpa of 2.84 during my OND days which I considered to be a failure so I am currently working towards graduating with nothing less than 3.75 in my HND as I am newly admitted.

yes, you can!
I will assume that the 4.25 is your current CGPA...I hope I'm correct. Mathematically; you need to get a minimum GPA of 4.61 every semester from now & boom you got your 1st class: (4.50×10 - 4.25×3)/7 = 4.6071= ca. 4.61.

now what does that mean in grades? it means more A's than B's.going forward target to get all A's with the occasional B's as slips. in that way, u are sure of your minimum GPA of 4.61 per semester...& watch your CGPA make that steady climb..
pay very particular attention to your high unit courses too...strive to get A in them.

BTW, I was in your shoes..I dropped from 4.53 to 4.39 to 4.17 & I really wanted a 1st class...
one of my lecturers who knew my academic precedence (graduated top of my class in secondary school with 8A + 1C; was top of my dept on the admission list to university) and there I was struggling...gave me the advice above & I took it to heart...it was a lot of hard work, tireless end-2-end reading/studying all the way, never left anything to chance, prayers..by God's grace it paid off..the upward climb each semester was really encouraging...I had a GPA of 5.0 twice...I eventually left with a CGPA of 4.51
more than a decade after. ..it still remained one of most cherished achievements...

go for it...all the best!

If you have IT in hand that can give you 5.0 it's still possible you get ur first class

Yes, it is very possible but you must sacrifice everything in your capacity for the nxt 7 semesters. I am a living testimony, I dropped from 4.71 GPA to 4.11GPA with a CGPA of 4.44 after two semesters on campus( 100 level), To the Glory of God I graduated with a CGPA of 4.64 at the end of the 8th semester (400 level).
Wow. Thanks.

Interesting mix.

I am currently looking to bring in 1 or 2 "agric" field undergrads with a flair for either coding/programming and web design into my team.

You need to start hustling while in school... It gives unique work and life advantages.
Oh, that's awesome.

This should encourage you. I use to be there and I made it eventually. My Cgpa was 4.17 at the end of 200level and guess what I didn't give up. What I did was to go back to the drawing board and restrategise, my major advice is for you to identify your priority and be ready to pay the sacrifice, it won't be easy but with determination, impossibility is nothing but a figment of our imagination.

You can use this formula to extrapolate your CGPA

Anticipated CGPA = ( present CGPA *number of semester spent so far ) + (anticipated G.P)
______________________________________________
Number of semester spent + 1

The above formula will help you to plan your semester ahead including your desire grade in each course, this is necessary to keep you focused on the job.

I hope my 2cent help.
Yea, it did. Thanks.
Re: Can I Still Graduate With a First Class? by Magjoel(m): 9:15pm On Oct 07, 2017
If you still want to graduate with a first class, then you must do this.
1) Know yourself I.e know your weakness and strength
2) Work both on your strength and weakness
3),Try to understand your courses and take every course seriously
4) Believe in yourself
5) Trust God
Chemical engineering isn't an easy course, make sure you understand and avoid cramming. I will like to your Number/contact, I'm currently studying industrial chemistry in unilag, we do take some engineering courses mostly Chem engr courses

You have a good chance of making first class if you put in more effort.

But please first class is not enough to become successful,equip yourself.Let school pass through you.

Bitter truth is you can still graduate with a pass. But to secure your first class try and realign your priorities. It gets easier when you approach your finals though. I wish you well.
