Dapromzy333:
Carry overs in the university system is normal; it basically means a student has an unfinished business. A student can only carry over a course when he or she scores 39 downward in both C.A and exam (over 100).

Carry overs are not in all cases a real reflection of how intelligent or not intelligent a student is, rather it's a reflection of how unserious, unsmart (if that word exist), unchecked and uninterested a student is.

I have seen highly intelligent students have numerous carry overs and relatively dull students pass through without carry overs. Such is life, that's why a coin is two sided. Carry over can also be a result of unfortunate and unlucky incidents, such as missing scripts, lecturer's attitude towards marking your script, or even a student's handwriting (that's right).

I have once been a victim of an unlucky situation. I was not around Kogi State when an assignment worth 20 marks was been submitted, when I heard about it I quickly rushed back to school from Lagos to get mine submitted. Unluckily for me, the lecturer in charge of the course is very strict and sent me out of his office. I thought to myself," I still have 80 marks to fight for so why panic".

This lecturer is the kind that barely comes to class, but he gave us a material to read ahead of his exam. For most part of Monday evenings we'll wait in class expecting him to come to class but he never does. On the day I decided I wasn't going to wait in class for him, he showed up in class and seeing how scanty the class was he decided to conduct test with the little number of students in class.

The test was for 20 marks and I missed it, making it 40 marks missed already which ruled me out of contention to score an A. Words can't describe how devastated I was during this period, my worst fear of carrying over a course is lurking around me. I tried bottling my sadness and fear until the lecturer announced that marks will deducted for every undotted Is and uncrossed Ts in his exam, he was basically asking for a perfectly written error free exam which looked impossible under the sort of pressure we were in.

I prayed to God about the situation, focused a little bit more on that course than the others, did a whole lot of library work and research and when the exam came around I completely smashed it, narrowly escaping a carryover (which many of my mates had) that would have completely changed the dynamics of my academics.

Am still grateful to God till today, who knows what it might have been....

Reasons why you must completely avoid carry overs:

-It brings you down;
A) Academically: having carry-over means you have F (0) in that course. It’s bad, it’s really bad. Having an E(2) or a D(4) is far better than having a carryover. It means you just scored 0 after studying a course for a semester and it will definitely reflect on your result.

B) Psychologically: having a carryover affects the psyche of a student. It’s that evil. You don't feel whole again, you won't feel yourself among your peers anymore; you'll feel devastated, less intelligent, less smart and so on. Carry overs inflict serious psychological damage on the bearer. It brings your thinking and psyche to the lowest minimum.

C) Physically: keeping tabs with your main courses is physically tasking enough, add carry overs to that and you'll barely sleep at night. You have to meet up with the time table of your main courses, then meet up with the schedule of your carry over courses, that's so physically demanding, it’s almost like punishment.

-It's hard to recover: even though its technically possible to recover from the evils of carry overs and get your academics back on track, it's extremely difficult and take so much determination and hard work.

-The odds aren't favourable: the odds of you graduating with a great result or a good result shifts every time you carry over a course. Imagine doing a carry-over course in place of an easy to pass elective course...

- It leads to self-esteem issues: when you are writing a carryover paper with guys that are below you, it’s a hard hit on your esteem and confidence level. You certainly won't be the most confident person on campus, in fact you'll be the least confident, if you're not then its either you're shameless, delusional, dull or completely out of touch.

- It’s a bad experience all together: the demanding schedule, the insult by lecturers, the embarrassment of writing a carry-over exam with your "juniors"...it’s a bad experience all together.

How To Avoid A Carry Over:

-Never joke with your Continuous Assessment C.A

-Always be around class and get adequately informed

-Serious studying: studying isn't every one's bread and butter, not everyone enjoys reading and reading, it’s not sweet at all, but you got to do it. That's the way. Use the library to research helpful information as much as you can.

-Do your calculations: your GPA and stuffs

-Always add to what you know

-Always do the conventional first: do what's required of you in test or an exam first, and then spice it up with the result of your research to the lecturers delight.

-Be strong physically and psychologically: in KSU only the strong will survive

-Use your time and work with schedule


-And finally and most importantly...Know your God...

Having an E is far better than a F? Bros which school u finish or which school u dy? Smh.

There's nothing wrong with having CO except u r in faculty like engineering / Medicine when A single Carry Over might lead to an extra year because of excessive course load. Other than that it's a normal thing and no big deal.

First class do have Carry Over. Seems like you went/ or u in a private school

theoptimist298:

God bless u. I keep telling people all the time. That's basically how I made my 2.1, by cramming. I feel only lazy students don't cram.

And some lecturers would tell you "Dont cram!!! know it"

einsteino:


It is the truth. I discovered it when I had an F, and calculated an A if I rewrite it vs if I had an E instead of the carryover.. I was baffled, the difference is much if your CGPA is high.. What I saw made me demand for remarking and I was lucky that when it was remarked, the carryover turned out to be an error from the lecturer. Life in public uni in nigeria is a tae of you and your God

dem dey even remark for your school. Here, only Law students get that luxury in law courses. Omo, if you get carry over for GST, nothing can change your situation, just take it in good faith.



In University of Abuja, even if you get an A when you re-sit, it will be calculated as a D...it doesn't get higher than a D

Dapromzy333.......nice write up...... crossing the ts and dotting is in ur write up reminds me of Mr Abbah..... are you from KSU? Biochem dept?

nickxtra:
Good. I still can't fathom why I had a carry over in a course I thought was not too difficult for me- CSC200. Although, I thank God that I got B in it when I resat for it. N.B. A friend later told me that scoring B at a resit is far better than scoring D or E in the main exam. Pls how true is this assertion?

That's very true. Because your GP will increase more than those who scored D. Since u had B.
Highly stressing. My eye don see shege!

Codyt:

I don't really agree with you bro. Only if you know how to calculate GP, you would know that carry-over does not really increase one's GP


At the end of the day, you will even notice that even if you score "B", your GP will only add two points more that those who had D

Nice one.

Study hard to overcome carryover

The credit unit of the course will be multiplied by two before dividing it by ur grade...So at d end..unless you have an A before your actual grade for that course can be on average,C

In my third year in school now...And the only carry over I ever got so far was promised by the lecturer during the semester...

He said I made his class lively as I used debate with him in class..so he said he would like to see me next year again for the same course,or he would miss me. He kept on saying it...never knew he meant it until I saw my result last week.

The course is not very difficult, I did well in his Tests..I smashed the exam...And what I get is a carryover for knowing the course too much.

So not having carryover is just by God's Grace.

html14java:
i see

you go fear modern age.

Never had a carryover back at Uniuyo. In my year 2, I narrowly missed carrying over a philosophy class to my year 3, just by a fraction. A great relief indeed and the lecturer for that course was feared on campus.

Lasveg:
No more 'E' in UNN. score below 45 and its carry over o'clock... If u graduate frm UNN without a single carry over, u be baba be dat.

Same here in UNIUYO. The thing is just grace. Last semester,after writing my CVE221 and ELE221 Exams I couldn't sleep. Why? I was afraid I would have a carry over. Results came out and I had an A in ELE.and a C in CVE. Now guess what I had in Engine maths.. an exam I was boasting dat I would not have anything less dan a B.? I went to d board and saw a BLOCK F. Asin ehh e be like dey pour cold water for my body. I no fit cry, I no fit laugh I just stared at the result. and d worst thing about this carryover shit dat scares me is having an EXTRA YEAR ..Now I dont know what to do .wether to get a new JAMB form..cos dis aint my life

nt an xcuse

There are some schools and departments within those schools that having only one carryover for example actually means you are intelligent. Yea quote me anywhere and if you are a graduate of ABU zaria, having only one carryover in departments like, pharmacy, vet medicine, economics, chemistry and a few others is NOTHING to be ashamed of mostly around the time I graduated (2008). Trust me op, if it was my sch back then u already lost 40 marks CA, your second name in that course is CARRYOVER regardless of how brilliant you are or how serious. By and large though, most of your points are very valid in most cases regarding how to avoid carryovers. Thanks.
