well dont

Yes ma. I've my GP to protect na

NigerianScholar:


But I cancelled the joke. I still don't deserve to fail upon all this

Well Wat can I say, Gba kamu.. ..or u wanna go to d ministry of education?
GCE dey there na
Modified.. .in fact u don't need Civics dat much do you?

NigerianScholar:

Did you protest the injustice

Injustice? if i was dumb enough to do that during exams then hey it was well deserved..just saying
my obvious point is, theres a time and place for everything, an exam paper is definitely not the place to be rehearsing your humor skills.
its shows a lack of focus and prioritization skills .

Common sense states that....

if I don't comment here am a betrayer.. I did dz during my waec last year.. mine was “Please help me ma” So I eventually failed my core subjects...
now this year I came through.!

You were to list 5 civic problems. You listed 2 correctly and you got D7. So for your mind you were supposed to get A1 abi?

.. You just indicated to the lecturer that you failed and needed help

Aki-onu's name reverberates the whole institution and endear students to him. .. Aki-onu means "kissing".

For example, If your answer in his question of Characteristics of a man is 'REASON AND REFLECTION' and you add 'ako na uche'

Add humour to your writing, it's a secret I reveal to none.

Super Lion/Lioness, humour that is relevant to the question being answered is okay but not the one Op is talking of. I know Akionu well, he's playful and expects his students to do same. You know he's the one marking your script and his style of marking it and so you give it to him that way. I had lecturers like that too, while for others you hit the nail at the head and dare not even do any cancellations in your script let alone add a humour to it. In the case of Op, he doesn't know the examiner and the marking scheme to be used and so shouldn't have done what he did. I always tell my students to go straight to the point when answering questions, if they tell you mention/list five items, stick to that. Don't do oversabi. Stop scribbling things like "Help me God", "I cover this paper/examiner in the blood of Jesus", "I love my teacher etc" on their scripts. It's not gonna earn you marks but your ability to answer to the point will and may earn you extra more marks.

Thank you so much.. You have done justice here.

The point is clear, know your lecturer.. Play with the playful ones and be serious with the serious ones.. more importantly, answer your questions backed with facts.. Never beg for marks nor *Love/bless your lecturer..

Infact, you added another point in that examiners deduct marks for each word you cancel..

Again, thanks for experiencing Akionu.

[i][/i]' List 5 civic problems in nigeria '.
I wrote 2 actual civic problems, I dont remember what i wrote. Then I wrote mouth odour then I wrote another problem.
Below that I wrote " 'pricing' of goods In the market" and I wrote another problem

probably the the person who marked the script has mouth odour.

NigerianScholar:
Before you proceed. Pls know that i am not joking at all, I am being 100% honest.

So, when I was writing my waec. Civic examination, it was too easy. So,i decided to joke around a little bit. Since I was confident that I could not fail. I went to the answers to the question that said something like ' List 5 civic problems in nigeria '.
I wrote 2 actual civic problems, I dont remember what i wrote. Then I wrote mouth odour then I wrote another problem.
Below that I wrote " 'pricing' of goods In the market" and I wrote another problem

I made sure I crossed out the points on mouth odour and pricing like this
But it was still very obvious. Thats how I wanted it to be
I just pitied d person dat will mark the script I know marking is very stressful and I wanted him/her to smile a little and cheer up.



It was Time to check my result. I passed very well. 2a's 5b's 1c. I saw d7 in front of civic education. I wanted to collapse. I was like wtf, someone cannot play with you people again. I wasnt pained. I dont understand how i can fail a subject as useless and easy as civic




And dont tell me I didnt answer it well. My worst case scenario was meant to be a b3. I know what i wrote

My fellow nairalanders, Pls tell me... was i wrong for what i did??


N:B- [size=70pt]This is not fiction..Its a real life experience [/size]
with small salt and pepper
Cc @ lalalisticlala ishilove nd co

its not wrong its your life tho. if you go for a written test for job also add small joke. This is the most foolish questions every come across on NL

NigerianScholar:
I like your kind of person

oshey!!!

Well i honestly think you SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT. Because most of these people who mark scripts have ZERO sense of humor. They may see the joke, but will not interpret it as one. Just saying.

I don't think is wrong depending on how is done and if its linked or an indirect answer to the question.

I use some lines like that in the hall but I put quotation and explain it.

if probably u explained how "mouth odour" is a civic problem....it would have been awesome.


#don'tTRYthisAThome when u dont know anything.

Your issue is actually simple. immaturity and not bn serious.

it is an EXAMINATION. you are being examined in every ramification. as far as i can tell. "TOO KNOW" is a problem you have to check. always try and pay attention to whatever you are being told to do and with every seriousness in you. If u want to be a comedian, go for auditions instead.
you are lucky you got a "D"

You may be right. Xcept the bolded. Humour isnt something that is simple. To be humorous you need to be focused and intelligent

In total. I listed 7. (plus d mouth odour and pricing)

I cancelled 2. Leaving 5 correct ones

daxon001:

Yes ma. I've my GP to protect na

yes

The humour was relevant to the question. If you want to be serious. Mouth odour is indirectly related to bad hygiene. And pricing of goods in the market spreads poverty. So. Pls. How isnt it relevant

Wait oooo, when its not english



Why would a lecturer subtract mark from a persons test just because of ordinary cancellation. Even if the reason is legitimate

DLuciano:

And this is the most foolish answer I have ever come across in this whole world






I asked a simple question. ' I am not one of those people that forms itk. If I dont know something I ask'
If you cant give me your opinion, please dont insult me

NigerianScholar:

I dont need it, I just want to find out if what I did is wrong

Since u cancelled it, no Na......but y are u still dwelling on this

aBbiie25:




uhhuh

Somebody is seeking for advice and this is what you gave him

You are free to joke all ya exams/years away! Iranu!

NigerianScholar:

You may be right. Xcept the bolded. Humour isnt something that is simple. To be humorous you need to be focused and intelligent

Nope, any one can be humorous, even a nutless monkey can be humorous, infact goats are humorous without even trying. DO you know what else is humorous? ducks are too, so are donkeys and our president too is humorous without even trying.

so i disagree, beacuse frankly the above listed dont have the required traits you so stated

Another Part of an examination is also being free and expression. If I can express myself with a humourless twist. Why not?


In an exam, you have to make your work as unique as possible

I am talking about humour based on intent. The type you are talking of has to do with people laughing at. What I am trying to do is to make the marker laugh with me
