Good evening all, Congratulations 2 my fellow Jambites who have been offered provisional admission to the University and course of their choice. But we all know that after gaining admission there's a long way to go especially if u want to be among the best in the university. So guys especially graduates and undergraduates of different disciplines in different universities,we really need you to help us the freshers, Tell us what are the things we need to do to be at the best in our diferent courses, U can give us d course outline of d Course u studied, Hw to calculate the CGPA in ur own Uni. What's the difference between the different unit courses in school and many more. Please lets share our experiences here and help our felow nairalanders.

UPDATE: I later found a perfect post for this, see here >>> How To Pass 100 Level Courses

Guys pls lets help one another. If u're a fresher u can indicate ur course nd Uni so dat d experienced ones can help us all

[i][/i] Som 1 said: In a University u nid 2b Inteligent nd smart so as to become d BEST. Wots ur take on dis as we advyc one another. Tnx every1

mech engr

Mech Engineering das a 9ce course, in wich Uni? Am sure u're aware dat it's a 5 years course

Gud morning Pls any1 who has an idea of the difference between a 7.0 CGPA calculation and 5.0 calculation should throw more light on it.

Hy guys, This thread is 2 dull. Nairalanders pls be ur brothers' keepers @least we should help with any genuine info we have as regards this topic. Tnx ol

B.sc physics, unilorin. I need d course outline from 200L and above cos i'm entrying tru DE. Need response ASAP

Ebby.kay:
B.sc physics,200L, unilorin

At least Ebby what's it like studying physics in Unilorin. Tnx alot

Jambite, computer sci N.D.U

EEE Futo.....now being a first class material, especialli in d engineering field z quite easy, especialli n futo......the courses with high unitz u give high attention....this z alwayz d unfortunate mistake of 1st yr students, who think they have arrived, nd by d tym d results re out, it will b too late to start tryini tu make a first class

Tnx 4 dat insightful contribution. More pls guys

mech engr. unilorin

pls hw is chemistry lyk in unilorin and d course outline pls .asap

Allow me to add a piece of advise to our freshers in the house.

1. Be focused: most freshers find it very difficult to focus...because the year one class from my experience, is a market place. You have all sorts of tutorial people every now and then, fighting to teach and market their past questions to you.

You also have countless organizations in school scouting for members...a few include state organizations groups, local government groups, clubs, fellowships, cults and many others.

As a fresher, you have to be very careful on whichever group you decide to follow. You must ensure that whichever group you choose, you musn't spend majority of your time on their activities.

How to manage your funds: Most year one students go bankrupt because they lack proper orientation on how to spend their money on campus.

As a fresher, you must mind what you spend your money on...look at it this way, most year one students I've come across are obsessed with women and luxury lifestyle.

Most of them won't mind missing lectures for a week or more just to host and lavish money on a girl they just met...its that bad.

I once had a friend (name withheld) in my first year...he used his school fees to purchase a home theater and a flat screen television. (According to him, he was getting ready to welcome the ladies). Along the line, he became broke as a result of his extravagant lifestyle and couldn't meet up...he actually confessed to me what he did and I advised him to alert his parents about the whole issue.

Now if you ask me, I would call that an unnecessary waste.

Spend your money on things that would add positive value to your life. Use your money to buy text books, helpful materials and attend tutorials that would boost your academic performance and not for unnecessary show off.

3. Cultivate a reading habit: I've noticed that most year one students spend little or no time on their books...they prefer to explore the campus and its environs. Most of them become local football champions on campus they play football from morning till evening with no hope of reading. In most campuses we have different types of football tournament. Ranging from lodge cup, departmental cup, faculty cup, VC cup, SUG cup etc. All these can make a student loose focus.

Also, some become experienced soccer analyst on campus...they would discuss Manu and Arsenal till 1:am. I once had a quarrel with one of them in my lodge back then.

So as a fresher, try an distant yourself from such people and associate yourself with people that can add value to your life.

4. Know the kind of friends you keep; Evil communication they say corrupts good manners. As a guy or girl, the people you associate with in your first year on campus, can tell the kind of person you would turn out to be.

Good luck

ShehuAba: Gud morning Pls any1 who has an idea of the difference between a 7.0 CGPA calculation and 5.0 calculation should throw more light on it.

First, there is nothing like a 7.0 CGPA.

Gp ranges from 0.0-5.0

Now here's the break down.

0.0 - 0.99 = fail.

1.0 - 2.49 = 3rd class.

2.5 - 3.49 = 2nd class lower

3.50 - 4.49 = 2nd class upper

4.5 - 5.0 1st class.

Feel free to ask questions on areas that aren't clear to you.

Oops... sorry I forgot to add 1.0 - 1.49 = pass, then 1.50 - 2.49 = 3rd class...see my previous post for the remaining

Thanks man 4 ur concern,Well as regards d issue of CGPA calculation dat d University of Ibadan stil uses it nd hopefuly 2day i'l paste d gradings. Tnx again 1ce more,pls lets kip it rocking

Thanks moderator for the advice, I need the course outline for physiology in unical.

I got dis 4rm a pal in a thread. Dis is d Grades Points calculation in UI :
Letter.....Grade........Marks(%)
Grade.....points.......
A............7..............70 - 100
A-...........6..............65 - 69
B+..........5..............60 - 64
B.............4..............55 - 59
B-............3..............50 - 54
C+...........2..............45 - 49
C..............1..............40 - 44
D..............0..............0 - 39

So dis's The UI Cumulative Grade Point Averege and the various classes of degrees shall be based on thenumerical points given below thus:
CUMULATIVE GPA.......CLASS OF DEGREE.............
6.0 and above............First Class Honours
4.6 - 5.9......................Second Class Honours
........................................(Upper Division)
2.6 - 4.5........................Second Class Honours
..........................................(Lower Division)
1.6 - 2.5.........................Third Class Honours
Less than 1.6.................Pass

Dis's hw 2 aryv at ur CGPA per semester in UI, with dis we shuld ol av an idea of hw it shuld be in oda skuls Let's say u offering 10 courses. One 4unit, five 3units and four 2units. What matter most is ur grade in each course. If u have 'A' @ 4unit course then u've boosted ur CGPA very well cos d 7.0 will be multiplied by 4 = 28points
GES 101 (4units) ====> A = 7 x 4= 28
MTH 101 (3units) ====> B+ = 5 x 3 = 15
MTH 102 (3units) ===> A- = 6 x 3 = 18
EEC 104 (3units) ====> C+ = 2 x 3 = 6
EEC 106 (3units) ====> A- = 6 x 3 = 18
EEC 108 (3units) ===> B = 4 x 3= 12
MEC 101 (2units) ===> A = 7 x 2= 14
LIB 101 (2units) ===> C+ = 2 x 2= 4
MEC 104 (2units) ===> B = 4 x 2= 8
MEC 109 (2units) ===> B- = 3 x 2= 6
after all these calculations, addition of everything i.e 28+15+18+6+8+12+14+4+8+6= 119
owk ur total course unit for the semester is 26 units addition of one 4unit, four 3units and 5 2units
Final CGPA = 119/26 = 4.57

ShehuAba: I got dis 4rm a pal in a thread. Dis is d Grades Points calculation in UI :

A............7..............70 - 100

B-............3..............50 - 54
C+...........2..............45 - 49
C..............1..............40 - 44
D..............0..............0 - 39

Good efforts, but this isn't university grading its waec grading...

Below is university grading...

0 - 39 = F
40 - 44 = E
45 - 49 = D
50 - 59 = C
60 - 69 = B
70 - 100 = A

And for the quality points...

A.....is 5 not 7

B.......4

C.......3

D.......2

E.......1

And F....0

So if you get and A in a 3 unit course, you automatically have 15 points because it would be 5 (quality points) multiplied by the credit hours which is 3...therefor it would give 15.

Same rule applies to all other grades.

No u're getting me wrong D University of Ibadan nd i repeat U.I uses a 7.0 grading apart 4rm oda skuls dat use a 5.0 grading nd dat's hw dey calculate it. It sims strange bt das hw U.I does it. Hop it's clear nw

U.I use 7.0 CGPA Grade system.

Ok its much clearer now...I get it.

Pls ooo. What is d course History and Int'l studies lyk in unilorin? I jus got admitted. What are the dos and dnts ova there?
