am fairly intelligent. I just needed more time for myself to read for my tests and exams. Relationship problems and all that.
Relationship problems??
And you want to make first class?shocked shocked oh my God!

If you want to make first class
1 Repeat your first yr or go write JAMB
2 Leave off campus and go back to the hostel
3 Delete all social media accounts
4 End all relationships
5 Attend all lectures and make sure you understand every topic even if it means staying back after classes
6 Do all assignments, projects, term papers etc
7 Read at least 6hrs everyday
8 when you are writing an exam; aspire for A's, accept B's and manage C's. Any other grade don't exist for you apart from those

Good luck!

Anything is possible actually.
Realistically though, you're correct. But, if she aims for a 5.0 wholeheartedly, she'll wind up somewhere close like a 4.9. That's what I'm driving at.

Nop u can't make first class even when u reach 4.5 Cgp it will not be awarded to u bc u had carry over(F). So sit up, no more playing and joking ooo, is not ur portion to make 2.2 bc......... So try graduate with 2.1. But my fear is are u determined to change, to discipline ur self to read and make good grades, just coming online for solution will not help u ooo.

My name is Amaka afuzor, and i am a student of Federal university of technology minna. Mechanical engineering. 100 level


Before you accuse me of being dull, I had a 204 in JAMB.
I always wanted a first class, but
I decided to check my result yesterday only to see F parallel and some good grades out of 10 courses.
Pls am 22 and I need to pass so I can get a good job after graduation.
I know I didn't give my books much attention this semester.

I am confused because I will be asked to withdraw if I get a cgpa less than 2.0 on a scale of 5 after second semester and don't meet the 10-8-8 requirement which I am very far from.


CAN I GRADUATE WITH A FIRST CLASS STILL?
Tell me the honest truth, I can handle it.

Pls who knows how many percentage of final cgpa the first year performance takes In futminna

Amakababe, this one get as it be. For you to get that GP means any of the following:
1) Laziness or unseriousness.
2) personal problems eg. Brain being affected(smoking weed, doing hard drugs, drinking alcohol, online pornography and masturbation, abusing painkillers etc.), side hustle due financial hardness which may affect your schedule and give you little time for rest etc.

NB: Scoring 204 in jamb doesn't prove anything. It's not a great score for someone who wants to score first class in engineering and graduating with a first class doesn't mean that you will get a job. This is Nigeria.

If your problem is (1), you have to spend more time on your studies, work smart and spend all your energy and time on your studies. Don't set your mind on first class rather look to giving your best at any up coming test or exam.

If your problem is (2), you need to first settle those personal problems first as any problem that can heavily affect your school work deserve to be attended first. Feel free to pm me.

Nobody is dull it depends on how hard u really works. U hv to dedicate 80% of time to ur studies, interact more with the serious crew and learn how dey do it and how they plan their time and make one dat suits u. The right company will affect ur performance level. Know wat u want and go for it.

I always tell those who cares to listen, the first year is very very important, the second is important till you finish but the first year is very very very important.

If you joke with it then it will be hard to catch up with the following years.

Create a create your own personal time table, always read, don't wait till it's 1month of few weeks to exam.

Mingle with the best brains in your department, form a reading group with people that are very serious.

You need to first of all change any bad perception about any subject, and always keep a positive attitude.

That's all I can say.

find a suitable time to read, stay away from alcohol anytime u want to read, make sure u get enough rest before reading, stop drinking garri and finally read ahead of time, don't wait till its 1 week before exam, because u will be under pressure and won't understand anything

but someone told me 100 level is just about 10% of whole year. That I need a 4.5 from 200 level to finals to bag first class
My dear you were misinformed. They gave you a very bad orientation. Achieving a good grade at the end of final year starts from 1st semester 100 Level.
Honestly I'll advise you to change your course to other department before they issue you a withdrawal P from MEE. Your first semester GPA is an Indication that you'll not be able to cope with the demands of the course.

O.p though u started very poor like poor.
Ur chances for 1st class is 0.0% unto the beginning.you can come out with something good, nor be by first class good job dey use come. You really have to sit tight, if ur friends are not of help to you change dem too. I had similar experience though but my g.p nor bad like this your own shall but i told myself it can end like this, and i came out well. You too can do same na jst self improvement and less of fun.

the results are not 'good' in general. I had a better GPA than many students in SAAT, water and aquaculture dept and fisheries dept to be precise.

Please don't compare yourself with failure.
I will advise you to sit up. Mind the kind of friends you hang around with.
Make up your mind to graduate with a 2:1, this will help you psychologically as first class is out of reach.

I will advise you to take this as a challenge. Become a success story academically and use your experience to help others.

I will sign out with one of favorite quotes of all time by Walter wintle

"
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN! "

Go girl!

Excellent Advice.
You should also make friend with the brilliant students in the class. beg them to teach you. Attend tutorials and most Importantly , study yourself and know when best you assimilate
Re: First Year Semester GPA Of 0.2, I Need A First Class. Am on Verge Of Giving Up. by Ficeo(m): 10:10pm On Jun 24, 2018
Its not too late to do something. Start studying immediately. Meet your seniors in that department. Ask them the pattern of each lecturer handling your second semester courses. Say no to distractions like your friends who are not in the same shoes with you. Consult past questions and study with them. Use your time judiciously. Come up with a time table for private study especially with the brilliant students in your department. Forget about first class for now. Fix your GP then later you can fire for that. Finally, kneel down, ask God to give you wisdom, for he is the giver of all wisdom. Use In Jn 14:13-14. God will surely answer you. You will succeed. God bless you.

Firstly if you get 5.0 gpa for the remaining 9 semesters your cumulative can still be in the 4.5 range
There are two approaches you can take but you must have a extra year by all means
1) Take a leave of absence from the school for your second semester, but attend some of your future lectures, tutorials and get a serious understanding of both the past and future courses, then retake your in the new session, this way you will avoid being ask to withdraw and jerking up your go.
2) register only for your electives in the second semester and retake your courses in the new session with the minimum number of courses, this way you reduce your work load over the years and perform better

Ma'am, no one gives "more time". Just use the time you have 'academically'.

Meanwhile, the best result you can ever graduate with from that Mechanical Engineering Department is 2:2. I'll have given you hope if you were in Electrical. The best time to 'create your result' in FUTMinna SEET is in 100l, courtesy e-exam. 10:8:8 go surely chase you out. Even 2.0 is a poor start in Engineering.

If you can't pass Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Use of English, General Mathematics etc. comfortably; how do you expect to pass Fluid Mechanics, Applied Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Further Mathematics, Materials Science etc. comfortably?

As an Engineering student, you need to read and read like a Pharisee.

Prepare yourself for a Department in SEMT, SAAT, and probably SET.

I hate to say this, but IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO MAKE FIRST CLASS with a 0.2 foundation.

I am sorry to tell you these, you are already out of engineering because you are unable to scale through 10-8-8 which you are not allow to fail Maths, physic and chemistry in 100 level and for u to beat 2.0 you most have at least 4.0 Gp and above which will give you a cgpa of 2.0 . I will advice you to write another jamb

My dear. Forget 1st class. My Year 1 CgGp was 4.47. I was motivated, i aimed for that same 1st class, knowing it was within my grasp. I quit hanging out. I stopped sex one semester close to 6months. What I forgot was...... The Wickedness of Lecturers. Even if you merit it. You think go 8courses they are ready to give you their A. After answering all exams easily. Giving them all they want. They nack me 3 C. I just weak buy Vpn start gee. I cant kill myself.
Pursuing 1st class is like gambling, the more you want to increase the more they drop you.
