I don't banter words with people that lies just to score cheap and unnecessary points. What is the world ranking of the best Nigerian university?

Even Cambridge university engineering faculty doesn't do engineering practical almost everyday.. Even the university I went to here in Australia, The Nigerian guys then who were in Engineering faculty did not mention every day practical. And the uni is about 150 below in world ranking. Please stop talking

Congratulations that you went to Australia but that's your business and cup of tea. Because you have a friend who studied engineering, you feel you now know everything that goes on in the faculty and that qualifies to make statements on behalf of your friend. You can as well print your name on a certificate and go in search of engineering jobs since you now know more than those who have been through it.

You mentioned Cambridge to make your wonky opinion a fact but I'm sure you don't even know what goes on within the four walls of that school. I wouldn't be surprised if you quote the Bible to force your opinion down everyone else's throat. I'm only surprised that with all your Australian education, this is how poorly you process your thought.

Just look at your logic. If you're really convinced that the higher the ranking, the higher the practical, then there are a lot you don't know.

Many top schools abroad offer 5 courses per semester. In one department in Unilag's faculty of engineering, they offer 14 courses in one of the semesters and nothing less that 11 in almost all others. Does that mean UNILAG would rank top in the world?

Good luck to you.

School is not meant for everybody. If data is expensive, try ignorance.

Says a rich man because he can afford an expensive phone

uvie66:
What about petrol for generator ?

Ohhhhhh! I didn't even mention that. Some persons think that all Nigerians are rich

Zoom will work. It's not big deal atall. I support your idea

How can you bring up such ideas!?
Do you know the resources that need to be put in for such learning to be carried out by students' at home!? We are in the country where there is no circumstant power supply. Many students use don't even have a smart phones let alone to purchase data to participate for the E-Learning. The data policy of Google classroom isn't beneficial to students. Just imagine,I am offering four courses in a day and 15 courses in a day weeks, How many gigabyte of data will have yo used to participate in those online classes!? There is poor network Providers such as Globacom network provider. In case of emergency situations to be online and there's no sufficient data and out range of power supply, What do you want such student to do?
Thank you so much!

AndikanEssien:


The cost of paying for rent for a year at school will cover for data

1. The cost of powering the cost wasn't considered. You think it easy to charge your phone or you think most students have generators at home?. Have you phantom those who reside in the villages ( some villages lack power supply (not even electricity))
2. The availability of network wasn't considered ( network signal is poor in most locations)

capitalzero:


Acquire some skills instead of wasting money on postgraduate education?

Thanks for the advice!

A postgraduate student that don't know the past tense of seek ?

Thanks. I will remember to proofread next time!

HigherEd:
Considering the current Covid19 increased virulence and the obvious lack of a vaccine in Nigeria. it might be a good idea for students of social sciences, education, business and commerce, law etc to go back home in a bid to depopulate the Universities.

The reason is majority of these programmes can be conveniently taught online. As a matter of fact, the recent zoom update is quite better improved to support teaching. E.g a large class of students can now breakout into different breakout sessions therefore improving the experience.

The only students that should be retained in school at this moment in my opinion should be those of the science and technology, medicine and surgical departments who need to use laboratories and can't simulate such an educational experience online.

MyTwoCents

Hope you will provide constant power and stable network to all the students,even those that reside in the village.

SirWarlock:
Watch how people will call you enemy of education . Anyway you do have a point, tertiary institutions should stop pretending they can handle everyone at once but what do I know, corona will dodge schools .

This may seem like a good idea but in true sense it's very shallow.
Social science and art courses are not always theory based. Theatre and performing arts are highly practical inclined...same goes for fine arts and music.

how many of our university lecturers are conversant with modern technology? for instance organizing a zoom meeting. For this to happen, there's a need to organize a workshop for these lecturers to make them vast in the guy in the area of technology.

SirWarlock:
now that's a point that people could have added. Basically like what OAU is planning.

it's Nairaland.

well it doesn't mean they have to send ALL non-science/lab students home. Just when it's not totally necessary for some to be present in school at the same time with others. Your second point, isn't it what some them are doing? I mean uniabuja and announced a workshop for that, don't know how it panned out though. We just have to do something .

bastard your opinion is inconsequential.
Useléss things

Ok

AntiFeminism:

the HigherEd op is a self acclaimed graduate of covenant university, he is an ardent member of winners chapel.
During their Shiloh programme there were reports of COVID-19 infection spreading through the numerous worshippers that attended the programme. The same op here was still the one that opened his dirty gutter mouth to type trash that the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church, he even went on to proof that Covid 19 is a scam and buttressed points to proof COVID-19 cannot be spread in the church.
Now he has come up with a trashy write up and one useless foolish mod took it to frontpage.
Na heavy thunder go fire am.
Useless fools, hypocrisy stinks among most of these professed christians

I swear, them no dey think with their brain

Oga everyday practical, Please stop making noise... Go and check the 5 basic performance breakdown on how they rank universities in the world.

Assuming that you were doing engineering practicals almost everyday as you claimed, trust me something should have clicked one day and boom!! Nigerian institutions would have made a ground breaking Research and money realized from inventions will be so much that there won't be need for ASSU strike. go and sell your lies to those that cared so much to listen because I don't

I think I am through with you this time for real.. Have a good day.

Practicals and researches are different things. Don't lump them up. Until you're able to tell the difference, just rest abeg. Study your sociology or whatever in peace and don't meddle in what you don't understand.

Rubbish what would arts students do You deserve to be beaten like person wey thief phone

edoairways:

That is the issue. If the cost of data can be subsized, then it might work even though some areas may have poor network signal. Better still, lecturers can record their lectures and then post them on YouTube.

Trust me
Students no go watch am

Do you know that some professors cannot send text message?

If social sciences and humanities can be taught virtually, sciences, engineering and medical sciences can also be taught online. No difference.

chatinent:
There's no course that cannot be taught at home.

Ha
Hmmm

elmessiahs:
very illogical, belittling one faculty while exhorting another is symptomatic of bias and this simply shows why Nigeria is backward. with such thought in peoples mind, we are heading for a crash

Bro
You missed that guy's salient point because he did not exhort any disciplines but prioritize them here.

If you had cross examined his submission, you would have seen that he was partly right. Virtually all courses in arts, law, social sciences are classroom based and are often very large crowd. But they can be conveniently taught online.

On the other hand, Medicine, Dentistry, etc have smaller class sizes, and also do daily clinical rotations and case presentations of patients. Also, all science courses have practicals that can only be done in the laboratories on campuses.
These will be challenged if they aren't brought on campuses.

However, my concerns with op's logic are;
1. Megabytes are too expensive to be spent on unlimited zoom meetings.
2. Online teachings are not as effective as everyone thinks.

I have personally started a number of online studies that I could not complete because they were not really interesting to attend.

It is well sha...
Make people just do it and leave the stage.
God bless you my brother.

🤣🤣🤣 I have seen this in UNN

You know, I did not want to ask him the name of the institution that engaged in practical almost every day..I don't want to do that to him because It will be like calling the devil a liar

Says hu ?

He didn't said everyday... He said almost everyday... While are you guys deliberately turning blind to the 'almost' he used.
About the Cambridge University Engineering Faculty and the university in Australia that you referred to, I don't know much about, which I am not very sure you also knows.
Here in Nigeria however, and to be specific, in the university I attended, there where some semesters we had laboratory classes/practicals almost everyday.
Sure, it was normal to have 4 or 5 practical/laboratory courses in a semester. Tell me how you the student will not have practicals almost everyday?
There, each core engineering course come with it corresponding laboratory course. should you are talking Strength of Materials, you have to take Strength of Materials Laboratory as a course of it own. Same thing to Engineering thermodynamics, Basic Engineering Electricity, Engineering Fluid Mechnics, Applied Mechanics, ITC in Engineering, Engineering Materials etc.
So, at a point you take up to 4 or 5 practical course in a semester, why will not have a practical course almost everyday?
