Definitely quantum mechanics...... The useless thief who taught the course didn't know jack. He was only interested in sorting. 2 Likes |

All the GST courses(philosophy and logic , use of English, Nigerian people and culture, Entrepreneurship skills, etc) ...Apart from this, I don't think I've taken any course that isn't useful in my field of study |

I used to think that some courses i did in the course of my major course are useless. As i progresses in life, i come to realize that non of them is near to bn useless. U will think that some are useless when u are not really smart enough to understand that some of the problems u solve in ur daily life has some applications of those courses termed useless. Real life example : Emeka has two pieces of cloth. One piece is 36 inches wide and the other piece is 24 inches wide. He wants to cut both pieces into strips of equal width that are as wide as possible. How wide should he cut the strips? This problem can be solved using H.C.F. (Highest Common Factor) because we are cutting or “dividing” the strips of cloth into smaller pieces (Factor) of 36 and 24 (Common) and we are looking for the widest possible strips (Highest). So, H.C.F. of 36 and 24 is 12 So we can say that Emeka should cut each piece to be 12 inches wide This was the L.C.M and H.C.F. we learned back den in the primary schools. So many other examples abound in different "useless" subjects and courses. So, for me, I never regretted any course that i passed through. 3 Likes |

Klins2000:Dont mind all those useless people.They expect the teacher to still teach them how to apply what they learnt.Even the philosophy and logic,I still apply it when arguing with people here on nairaland. No wonder,the scream that Nigerian graduates are not employable |

Klins2000: But these are more or less common sense things From your primary School you've been warned against plagiarizing. You've been taught about a bibliography since grade 3, so what exactly do you need a whole course on this for? Just further sensitization is needed for this, not months of study and then grading. |

jydeskill1:It is not useless my friend. It only questions your diehard belief, the reason students are not confortable and most times leave the lecture hall when the course is taught. Many graduates are gullible today to the antics of religious leaders because they did not pay attention to the fundamentals of the course. Philosophy and Logic is supposed to usher you to the world of critical and non-fallacious reasoning, as against the custom and religion your social environment bequeathed to you during your most pliable part of development. It has been part of me even after graduation for the past 6 yrs because I can still remember many of its critical postulations. Use of English was also handy. 1 Like |

LargeBreed:. Uniport Students from faculty of Education will keep on hating this course. Before I opened this thread I knew philosophy &Logic will top the list as an Engineering undergrat back then this course &Fortran to me was my useless in Uniport, I managed to run away with a 'C' in both as a result of a good CA. Fortran was kinda abstract to most of us, we try to folo the course small small so mek we grab small thing atleast. On Fortran exam day Laff wan kill me, the exams conc. die for for about 20min or more after sharing Q&A papers, almost all the class struggle to pen down something meaningful on paper, guys dey sweat under AC classroom , the lecturer came around durig the exam period, we had to complain a bit about it, but he was just laffing@us, but finally we had to help ourselves out. We Lol after the exams. I advise, Fortran should be replaced with a modern programming course, Engineering drawing with Autocad, scrap some irrelevant courses to reduce study loads on students as what is obtainable in other western countries. |
