In as much as the primary objective of every student is to attend lectures, some lecturers are taking it too far... Tomorrow now we would hear one lecturer gunned or kidnapped by unknown gang, we go dey pity dem, we nor go know how many lives dey don wreck... well sha... #PEACE...

What's your point ? Are you defending the students ?

Thats the rule, such rules are common in most universities. They are just surprised it was actually enforced,

I understand missing class, some classes are not worth attending,

But why miss classes when you know that attendance will be checked, and still no back up plan?

How can they be this dull in 400 level?

That being said they should be allowed to write their exams

Fran6ik:
Why wont students miss classes when there is no good facility to learn with? No speakers no projector.. coming to class turns as a waste of time...

Let them be forgiven and allowed to write wat dey read on deir owm after all most of these lecturers are bunch of rubbish.. same lesson note since 1982

That is not an excuse for not having 65% attendance

I don't like lectures, I only do if a lecturer is good and med sch lecturers reveal their que in class

u av no reason for missing class, the serious will always prove diligence inspite of all odds

ALSHomes:

Am not defending the, but all these lecturers too dey do, at times it would make sense to temper justice with mercy, not all students who don't attend lectures are to blamed, am saying from observation... #PEACE...

They must have had ulterior motives to choose to enforce the rule this year. And why admit more than you can conveniently graduate? Unilag... full of shady people

Mr, the school system didn't start decaying in 2017. Many students have struggled in that same condition and have still graduated with a first class. Most of those absentees just don't care about school. I've attended a class of over 500 students in a lecture hall with no speaker or projector. I hear nothing at all because of the crowd and noise, but I still ended up meeting the attendance and having a B in the course which was 3 units. Excuses are just for lazy ones.

it happens

All these lecturers sef
Mr Hope would set a test, ask us to help ourselves from his materials and our Notes
He knew what he was up to

Shut up

Still trying to fathom how a normal student that is in school to learn and not for another thing not attend lectures. Forget, if you think classes ain't important to you then you are on a very long thing.

No normal students will stab classes without something else attached to it.

Serves them right!

Hmmm......law students putting forward such childish defence .I wonder how they got admitted in the first place...or is the standard that low?

ask him dude

Its a nice move, most of my course mates I only see them during exam period and you keep wondering why they are in school in the first place.

I graduated from Unilag faculty of law in '07 and it was the rule then. In fact there was this particular lecturer in order to check students who put down their friend's name in the attendance sheet, he will call out all the names on the attendance sheet and if you were not there to answer your name for any reason, you'll be marked as absent (even if you attended the class) and the persons whose names are before and after yours will asked to produce you, (cos the presumption is that they are your friends who wrote down your name).

It got so bad that if anyone writes his name before or after yours, you'll be watching the person like a hawk to ensure he doesnt leave the class cos you cant go and be looking for someone you dont know.

The long and short of my story is the law students are talking BS cos they know or ought to have known about the existence of that rule cos its as old as Methuselah

Cladez:
Missing class is nobody's business.Your job is to set and mark the exams and if the student fails,then fail them straight away.

Class attendance is one of the requirements for continuous assessment in most universities.

the rule has been there in the student hand book as well as the exam docket.

another thing to consider is that the rule from the period I was in the faculty was not strictly enforced. emphasis on strictly.

it is a different ball game in Law school as attendance is not something to be joked with.

for the present dean who I know to be a no nonsense disciplinarian to enforce this rule means that she's trying to improve on the standards the faculty of law is known for.

This had been a standard practice in some faculties like Faculty of Pharmacy in that same UNILAG for decades so I don't see the fuzz.
They are just seeing what others have been facing for decades.
Good one from the faculty of Law

Lazy students

All noble endeavours demand seriousness and adherence to rules of engagement. It is either a man shapes up or he ships out!
