Evathyst:
Sorry my stalker! Of all the biology teachers available in this thread, you're still insisting that I should be the one to answer you. No problem nau, meself no dey run away from challenges.


However, my boss (Ravensckar) should know better since he's a senior colleague on this kinda 'stuff'. But I'll still tell you the little I know sha...


The following are the basic parameters that are used in marking biological diagrams;
1- Size of the diagram: depending on whether you're given a range. Let's say you were asked to draw a diagram btw let's say 10-12cm. Then, the size of your diagram doesn't really matter.
2- Labelling: This is the most important aspect of a diagram. In labelling, we make use of a guideline(a line which connects the part identified with the name given). Your labellings should always begin with a capital letter, and the guidelines shouldn't touch each other. However, some school of thought believe that all labellings should go to the right hand side. That using vertical lines, curved lines,etc attract a penalty.
3- Title of the diagram: this should espouse the summary of what your diagram entails. Let's say you were asked to draw the longitudinal section of specimen A. Then, your title should be written thus; 'Longitudinal Section Of Specimen A' even if specimen A is a tomato, one mustn't mention it in the title.
4- Magnification: this is usually written immediately after the title. However, it could be in fraction or decimal but shouldn't bear any unit. In case you've forgotten, magnification is the size of one's diagram divided by the actual size of the specimen involved.
5- Diagram outline: Here, the examiner will look out for how neat the diagram is. If shady, thick, and broken lines were used.

Oh! Which one have I not mentioned self? Maybe I should call on the Visiting Prof to come and help me out here. Na them dey mark WAEC always jare...

I'm sorry if you felt stalked, that wasn't my intention. You once stated you were a biology edu graduate, so I felt you would be in a better position to help. Thanks a lot once more, I'm indeed grateful.

Sunnypar:

I see general evathyst.....

Sorry I had to attack you like that. I can't stand bullies! Not even when the person they are trying to bully is my 'girl' I'll throw caution to the wind.


Avicky didn't do anything wrong to deserve all those back lashing. She was merely exercising her franchise. The last time I checked, there's still 'freedom of speech'.


And for somebody as highly placed as Avicky, her freedom after any speech is always guaranteed.

Dont mention bro! But I hope it didn't fall short of your expectation? Or is there any need to call on my boss? I've got someone whom I think is more knowledgeable than me on issues like this. If need be, allow me to summon him here. Na me hold him 'remote control'
*At least that was what the baba that did the jazz told me*


Avicky no vex o. I know you hate hearing that I'm the one holding Visiting Prof's remote-control.

If there is anything you dispute about someone's opinion, they best is to point it out to the monicker. Constructive arguments.

the best way sir is silence..it is golden!!!!

Please for the greensprings graduate trainee programme,are we going to pay for it or be paid

manie:
I dont expect this from you, avoid arguements but encourage edifying discussions, learn to ignore argumentative people and be the leader which you are. A wiseman said our network is proportional to our net-worth. And where we will be in 10 years is determined by the types of friends we keep and the types of books we read.

Yes sir,.

Please, feedback o!!!!!! Oya make una begin they yarn.

Evathyst:
Mr man, you just committed a fallacy of appeal to popular belief (argumentum ad populum).


That someone opposed a 'self-acclaimed' expert's opinion of a subject matter doesn't necessarily translate to envy. Hian? Which sunday school abi na night school did most of you graduate from self?


So you didn't see any 'moral' wrongdoing in a person bragging about his achievements and exploits. Even when he knows he's not the benefactor of the person concerned. Continue with this your 'Asx licking' mentality and you'll end up as a non entity in life. (No be curse o!)


Now, lemme tear your belief to shreds. Have you ever wondered why most Nigerian graduates are not making 'mind-boggling' discoveries in their fields? It's because most of them didn't learn and work in institutions that challenged their intellectuality. Hence, there wasn't any vacuum of knowledge left for them to fill. It's all about the money for some of you!



I've always thumbed my nose at any advise that a graduate should acquire all these so-called 'skills'. You people are reducing people's existence to mere making ends meet. If Albert Einstein had learnt tailoring or bricklaying as one of our 'expert' here as opined would he have discovered anything in physics? Abegi!



As far as I'm concerned, a graduate's existence on earth shouldn't be confined to learning how to survive alone, we must make exploits in our field. If one's education wouldn't teach one how to make landmark exploits in one's field, then such education as far as concerned is 'meaningless'

Hello Miss Eva. Thank you for reminding me of the Philosophical terminologies i learnt back them. I really enjoyed those lectures on fads and fallacies in my first year

First of all, the issue on ground is NOT an example of Argumentum ad populum. It is a fallacious argument that concludes
that a statement/proposition/action is true because many or most people believe it. A case of "If many believe so, it is so." An example is "Many people buy Android phones, therefore it is wise to buy them" . In my own view, i would refer to it as action based on popular action or belief. Now i see no semblance whatsoever between the issue on ground and the fallacy you hinged it on. That we commended Manie's self-acclaimed achievements does not mean we believe his story hook line and sinker or intend to fashion our lives like his. Havent you seen people who commend a politician openly but go ahead to vote for someone else at the polls or have there not been times when you allowed the doubtful statements of a friend slide just to allow gist to flow?

Secondly, there are antecedents to every issue. These antecedents determine the current situation. My comment was borne out of the previous comments Avicky had dropped on Manie even before he highlighted his achievements. Trust me, i know the difference between someone attacking a person and attacking a person's argument. However, i admit i was overly rude and judgemental in my reply to Avicky. I am sorry.

Thirdly, there is an age-long adage that goes "If an agama lizard falls from a tree and no one applauds him, he will applaud himself". To a certain degree, i admit that undue blowing of one's trumpet is morally wrong, but i see absolutely no wrong in it when it is aimed at motivating young folks. Motive for action is what matters. I will tell you about an event to that effect:

When i was in final year, we had a church alumni home-coming. We expected a guest speaker who was advanced in experience and probably in age too, but to our amazement, a young lady of barely 24 came on stage announcing herself as the guest speaker. As expected, we didnt take her serious so we went back to our gisting and catching up on old times. When she saw she wasnt getting enough attention, she changed her approach. She started a graphic recounting of her academic and career achievements back in school and after school. Her achievements were so groundbreaking that we paid rapt attention to all she had to say thereafter. At the end of her talk, a lot of people were truly motivated to go beyond their limits and achieve more.

You see, motive for action truly matters.

Fourthly, the last thing i will do is to scurry for someone's favour. Read the comment i made about his achievements. If i was an ass-licker, i would have concluded my comment by literally begging him to "mentor" me. But i am one man that believes that we all have our own destiny charted for us, and i personally know the road to mine. So the achievement of others dont freak me. it only urges me to hurry and achieve my destiny

The following part of your comment really amused me:

"I've always thumbed my nose at any advise that a graduate should acquire all these so-called 'skills'. You people are reducing people's
existence to mere making ends meet. If Albert Einstein had learnt tailoring or bricklaying as one of our 'expert' here as opined would he have
discovered anything in physics? Abegi!
As far as I'm concerned, a graduate's existence on earth shouldn't be confined to learning how to survive alone, we must make exploits in our
field. If one's education wouldn't teach one how to make landmark exploits in one's field, then such education as far as concerned is
'meaningless'"

How can you compare the old days of a currently developed nation to the current days of a developing and struggling nation? This is unjustifiable! Did you know that even as at then, scientists were given generous stipends for their upkeep, works and discoveries? Ever heard of the Nobel Prize before? Focus only one thing in Nigeria and see if hunger wont finish you. Like your friend said, "Hunger doesnt know passion" Why do we learn more more than 1 language? To expose us and increase our chances of clinching new opportunities. Thats the reason for being multi-skilled

When people talk about learning new skills, the generous erroneous opinion that comes to our mind is that the person is literally going to shut himself to other activities of his life and focus on only the skill he wishes to acquire. Truth is, every skill is inter-related and quite easy to learn. Miss, i learnt how to use Corel Draw from the comfort of my house using my laptop and internet by merely dedicating just 2hours of my time to it. The brain can take on many tasks at the same time. Dont be a 1-way traffic and undermine the ability of your brain. Learn as many skills as possible. It wont stop you from making waves in your field

Worshipping God aside, the main essence of man's existence is to make ends meet and procreate. In fact, the the former is much more important than the latter as it (the latter) is helplessly dependent on it. Your heart wont beat if your ends havent met enough to translate into money to buy food to feed your cardiac cells.

Once again, if i have stepped on toes by my comment, i earnestly ask for forgiveness. I cant afford to make enemies on my way to the top. Also, lets not let this thread degenerate into a gender battle. It will do us more harm than good.

The word "skill" is preferable to "talent" in this context. Most people make it now with skills they acquire. Only a few manage to discover their talents, talk more of monetizing it despite the fact that human studies have proven that every human on earth is endowed with at least 3 talents.

Judging from all what you have said, i presume you are in your mid to late 40s. With all these accomplishments and financial acquisitons at this age, i applaud you. i foresee me being like you like when i get to your age, except that i am positive i will hit my millions earlier considering the tools at our disposal in this present age.

Those graduates are very passionate about teaching and they don't have any other monetised skills or talents. I also think they are not streetwise cos if they are, they would be Richard Bransons by now.

Good!!! Please thread members read evathyst profile.....its not everything you read online especially on this forum that is true. Person inherit papa property. Why not be like Xtfield, Fxman and Mama? Rubbish

Mr Odimbannamdi, having read your long epistle, i guess it will be so 'inconsiderate' of me if I chose not to reply. Cos I'm sure you must have invested a lotta your time and thought into making it a whole.


Now, let's begin this way; You started by erroneously trying to disprove of me classifying the subject matter as a fallacy of popular belief. You gat me almost wondering if your own philosophy was taught at a 'night school'. Now, lemme give you an excerpt of it's definition from google (The knower of all things).
In argumentation theory, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people" is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition is true because many or most people believe it: "If many believe so, it is so."


The reason why this type of fallacy aptly describes the subject matter is 'Many people now believe that certificate is not enough to guarantee one would make ends meet in Nigeria. Hence, acquiring other 'skills' would suffice'. This argument is not only fallacious in it's entirety, but it has also helped to reduce most graduates to 'anywhere belle face'. If not, why should a biochemistry graduate be advised to learn tailoring because he wants to make ends meet? Isn't that tantamount to arrant nonsense?


Moreso, you failed to refute my argument concerning a graduate's supposed impact in his field. Even the Albert Einstein analogy which I used to buttress my point was eventually 'jargonised'. As far as I'm concerned, you still didn't put forward any reasonable counter argument to critique my proposition. So much for your intellectual prowess that you had to drag religion into the debate. Shake my head!


Furthermore, that excerpt you quoted from my previous post as your submission was rather twisted by you to gain sympathy. I know your type. Since you're still racking your brain to decipher the point I'm trying to make. I'll assume you've taken it as a self-imposed homework. Hence, there wouldn't be any need to add to your torture.


On the issue of bragging or trumpeting one's achievement. Well, my opinion is that nobody has the monopoly of bragging rights. And like I said earlier, Avicky hasn't done any wrong by deflating his ego. The last time I checked, he's not feeding her. So what? Call it envy or whatever meaning you deem fit, na una matter. And as for calling you an 'Asx licker' I'm afraid, I wouldn't apologise for that cos that's was your response exposed you to be.




In conclusion, while I appreciate your response so far for being devoid of name-calling. However, I'd like to inform you that I wouldn't bother replying to any post of yours on this subject matter again as I believe I've done enough justice replying your every assumption. If there's any statement here whose meaning still eludes you, then, I believe maybe life itself would teach you...



Shalom!

Furthermore, that excerpt you quoted from my from my previous post as your submission. Since you're still racking your brain to decipher the point I'm trying to make. I'll assume you've taken it as a self-imposed homework. Hence, there wouldn't be any need to add to your torture.


On the issue of bragging or trumpeting one's achievement. Well, my opinion is that nobody has the monopoly of bragging rights. And like I said earlier, Avicky hasn't done any wrong by deflating his ego. The last time I'm checked, he's not feeding her. So what? Call it envy or whatever meaning you deem fit, na una matter. And as for calling you an 'Asx licker' I'm sorry, I wouldn't apologise for that cos that's my perception of you based on your post.




In conclusion, while I appreciate your response so far for being devoid of name-calling. However, I'd like to inform you that I wouldn't bother replying to any post of yours on this subject matter again as I believe I've done enough justice replying your every assumption. If there's any statement here whose meaning still eludes you, then, I believe maybe life itself would teach you...



Shalom!

Summarize it.
