PROJECT AND NON EXAMINABLE COURSES ADVICE

It's now so much obvious that many are being delayed either for IT results or Project results. I have a cheap advice for all students in lower level that doing your IT and Project at the early stage is the best remedy to all the problems of having issues, some study centres are fond of not taking the right steps in ensuring prompt release of results of project and IT either by human error or computer error.
If you are in lower level my advice is for you to take your IT in 300l first semester this will give you an edge that you have settled one of the beast holding students for longer periods in school. Once you are done with it in 300l first semester do your possible best in your IT and it will be released if not the following semester it will be your 400l first semester.

Also, as a student of NOUN you don't have a barrier of not registering a course of your choice so which means u can register any course at any level in other words in as much as you have passed your Research Methodology either in 300l or 200l you are entitled to write a project don't always wait till you get to your finals before you start writing. Reasons you should write your project early

1. Your supervisor might delay you

2. Your study centre might delay you from graduating by not sending your project to the Hqtrs on time for Moderation

3. When others are running around to do their project you might have done your project and see your result which will make you feel relaxed at the end of your semester in NOUN and you will have to focus on your remaining courses.

It's of best interest I advice every student to do their project, seminar and IT earlier than the level in which they ought to do it so that you can focus on other things and if you have references during those period you can bring it to your finals which makes it easier for you to tackle effectively.

Thanks for your time, if you have any questions or concerns you can call me or whatsapp me on 08185025045

Re: National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN) Students by Rdduite(m): 9:00pm On Jan 22, 2020
My humble experience are like this, after presenting my screening certificates for PDGE screening, my study center counselor wrote cleared on my credentials & asked me to make 3 copies each of the credentials then wait until 27th Feb before I will be given a Matric Number. Then I can proceed to register my courses.

My question now is:

1) Why wait till Feb 27th before I can become an eligible student?

2) What is really keeping me from receiving a Matric Number after my successful screening?

3) I know time is not my friend & I should be studying by now, Where can I get study materials even though am yet to register for any course.

4) what are the course I will register for PDGE first semester so that i can start early to sort out materials & prepare myself?

6 TRUTHS ABOUT PROJECT SUPERVISORS & WHAT YOU CAN DO


Just got a difficult project supervisor?

As in, sometimes he yell at you on the phone? sad Other times he ignores you, makes you feel worthless, and threatens to nullify your research? shocked

It’s like he is becoming the enemy your spiritual leader used to talk about, right? Here is a list of hidden truths about this set of supervisors you need to know:

1. They need you more than you need them:

I understand we've been made to believe supervisors are demigods, but the truth is that they largely need you more! Some lecturers are inexperienced in the area of supervision, hence they're added to a list of supervisors to gain 'experience'. While it is, perhaps, reasonable, the result might be devastating as they sometimes try to prove some 'points'.

As regard the experienced ones, your work is needed to elevate their portfolio. Supervision counts, they all get paid for it, get rewarded career-wise, and when you deliver an invaluable research, they prove authorship on all or some contents without your consent.

What can you do? Do Nothing when you have no proof.

2. You were assigned a project supervisor based on institutional convenience, not necessarily by research contribution

This is straightforward. Students are sometimes made to believe they were assigned a supervisor who has contributed immensely to their research field. While this might be true in some instances, have you ever considered what would happen when you choose a preferred topic and none of your Lecturers has contributed to that field? I bet, your institution would never hire a Lecturer for your singular sake even if you've paid a million naira tuition. Institutional convenience would make them force a topic down your throat, and when you resist, be prepared for battle.

3. They are career-obsessed and self-centered.

Do not let the aggressiveness deceive you. You may have thought the yelling and agitations are meant to make you excel, but the truth remains that he's more concerned about his career, his articles, promotion, etc. You both are engaging in similar tasks. An average supervisor conducts research from time to time, so God help you if two of his recently submitted articles have just been rejected by a reviewer. You'd have to explain to him reasons the articles were declared unfit for publication.

4. They do not read your work

Frankly, supervision is difficult. It takes more than commitment to supervise tens to hundred within a short timeframe. So, do not be surprised to read that majority do not read their students' papers in toto. HOWEVER, do not! AGAIN, do not, under the guise of this belief, present an incoherent writeup. Be rest assured that your work would be strictly monitored as soon as something fantastically devastating is spotted. So be cautious, and put the right things in place.

5. A bad relationship between students and supervisors is not always the fault of the supervisor

As previously mentioned, supervision is hard; it is harder when a communication gap sets in. Improved communication can dramatically improve your relationship with an aggressive supervisor. How do you improve your communication from the onset? State your goals and study objectives clearly; give your supervisor the aim of your research and what you seek to achieve. Be assertive when and where necessary.

More so, do not rule out the possibility of a bad personality fit. A supervisor who is overly taciturn may find it hard to engage you in a 10 minute conversation. It isn't really his fault, you have no control over his personality.

6. They give plantain, and demand plantain chips

This trend cuts across diverse institutions. Do not rely ONLY on Research Methodology 401, 501, 701 classes. They will ONLY define qualitative research, and demand from you Grounded Theory. Don't even expect, in your imaginations, to get intensive SPSS, Ms-Excel classes or training on other analytical Software like Orange.

You would be taught the conceptual differences between reliability and validity, but that's just about it. Expect nothing on how to to carryout a reliability or validity test on a survey questionnaire with 7-item Likert scales.

While you do need thorough explanations on certain research topics, there is usually no time or finance to acquire such. Hence, ensure that you're being guided by a good Lecturer, or someone with prerequisite understanding of your research process.

Please don’t believe some of this writeup or else F in your project.

My experience

1) Be very Loyal and Respectful to your supervisor

2) Tell him your agenda on the project

3) Visit him regularly to establish relationship

4) Don’t offer money, if he does not ask of it

5) Communicate with him time to time

6) Be serious

NOTE: They know if you are the one doing your project or someone doing it on your behalf, don't lie, just let them know if they ask.
Believe me (A) is guaranteed if you put this in to work.

More advise are welcome

The part where you said A is guaranteed, that one is not true o.

Let's be factual here. You can write a mindblowing project report and still get a B or C. Your supervisor can also be unfair- After praising your report and saying it's the best they've ever seen, they give u another grade. Project is just something else.

What I believe is, do your best, and pray to God.
