akitijackson: I'm final year student of the English Language(B.A). In my 1st year in the university, I was a first class student, bt I drastically dropped to 2.2 in 300level. As I discovered d level at which I dropped, I lost interest in the degree, nw I dnt knw my fate. My plan nw is as soon as I'm done, I'm gonna apply for a 2nd degree nd dis time ntin will stop me frm attaining what I've always desired. Now my dilema is if it's gon be a gud idea for me to start afresh or shld I jst continue onto masters? I really want to make things straight cos the worst result I've eva had is dis present 1.

use the time of starting over again and start a business or setup a manufacturing company.u can do many things without a degree but you cannot do single thing without money.a rich man is a king anywhere in the world because money is money anywhere.

adorable29:

Who mentioned a dictionary?

I have never corrected/questioned anybody's comprehension or grammer on any forum before cos I know I am not perfect myself. This one is different..... A FINAL YEAR ENGLISH STUDENT who for that matter, is feeling low cos she may come out with a 2:2 and not a first class.

A 2:2 is not a bad grade by the way. The irony though.

Your spelling of 'grammer' (grammar) tells us you're far from being perfect.

Be sincere with your self and address the cause of the slide,objectively.
Having done dis,the next step is to apply for postgraudate programmes(PGD or MA...whichever one u can get into).Remember time waits for no man.Since you believe it's in you,I'll advise u channel all u've got into your PGS.A very good PGS can make your first degree a lil' or altogether irrelevant.
Cheers!smiley

2.2 is not a bad grade dear. Mind you, not all students will make 1st class and 2.1 and not all 1st class and 2.1 students are successful in Life.
My advice;
Get a life, get focus and be determined, only then will the sky be your starting point and space might not even contain your success.

eleojo23: If you think that having a first class will secure your future and make you happy, then you should start all over. But truth is, while it is good to have an excellent result, you can still be successful and fulfilled without having a first class. There are many successful people who did not make first class. Time is not waiting for you. Identify the source of your problem and address it. If you can go unto masters with your result, go ahead and make up your mind that your result in masters level will be better than your first degree. Your true worth is what you have in you and not some words and figures (grades) scribbled on paper.
Done!!! This is all you need...

Why do you need a 1st Class Degree?
Your grade won't dictate your salary smiley Some firms won't pay more than the stipulated even if you graduate with a 10 point GPA. The probability that you'll get a job easily in Schools is high (when compared to other firms). Do you have an idea on what these Schools pay graduates?

What makes you think you'll get a first class if you enroll for a second degree? We all wanted first class, you know cheesy But one thing led to another..., and we couldn't. Even if you're determined, have you considered your age? Can you withstand the "settle-down/marriage" pressure in your NEW 100 level study, while your mates are already enjoying life with 2.2/3rd Class degrees, with husbands and kids.

Your environment is really dictating your thoughts cheesy

You need to take a tour out of campus cheesy Even your Lecturers are sufferring

Let me get sometin straight here, you have been a first class student since your 100l, but was dropped to 2.2 in your 300l. How is that possible? Okay, let me make some calculations here:

100l 1st semester: 4.50
2nd semester: 4.50
200l 1st semester:4.50
2nd semester :4.50

Let me also assume that your GPA in 300l first semester was 2.0(which is not even possible for someone that has been a first class student since 100l), let me also assume that in your second semester you had 1.68......

Given the above, your CGPA still stands at 3.61, which is still a fairly strong 2.1..... So, OP, hw did you drop to 2.2? Or maybe you were never a first class student in the first place, or...... Don't let me even assume that your GPA in thuse two semesters were below 1.0..... Na na, its not possible...... Your HOD and examination officer ought to have called you to attention since.

In conclusion, i feel the OP is witholding some information or the whole story is a lie or......... The OP is just seeking attention.

NaLaugh: haha. I recommend dropping out and learning how to trade salt, maggi, bitter leaf and the likes at you local market. cheesy


Seriously though, the factors you need to take into consideration are:

1. Can you get your grades up to 2.1?
If you can, then do just that, and proceed with a Master's degree.

2. If your answer to (1) is "No," then i would still recommend going on with a Master's degree.

A second degree should generally be a last resort in "fixing" circumstances like this.
However, if you absolutely feel the need to, then seek out a major which most of your current credits can be applied toward.
This way, you have less credit requirements, and will get it done much faster than going for an unrelated major.

Good luck.
